【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- constantly meditate on fruitional effects

Therefore this place tells us that "conviction is the root of all virtues!"  Where does this conviction come from?  Hey!  What is "the root of this conviction?"  It is to "constantly meditate on fruitional effects."  Oh, this is it.  This tells us that we should continuously learn and meditate on this principle.  What are the fruitional effects?  For such a cause you will be issued a corresponding effect.  This is the principle.  What should you do?  You should  "constantly meditate."  We now finally understand, "Oh, this is what we should truly practice!"  Therefore, we should reflect and analyze this all day long.  Our every arising thought should focus on nothing else.  Like that.  Even if you are resting, what he tells us later is that even when you are resting, you think as such!  I have reflected at length.  As for joyous perseverance, the most important thing in learnig the teachings is joyous perseverance.  So after I have reflected, I should rest for a while.  This is necessary for joyous perseverance."  Therefore, when your mind stops, it continues to joyously persevere.  So you stop [to rest for a moment] and immediately after that you continue to practice again.  You remain joyously persevering.  Hence you are practicing all day long.  Of course your improvement will be marvelously quick.  When this happens, if your mind reflects in this way from day to night, you will be joyous from day to night.  Would you have any suffering or torment?  Of course not!

业果 : 恒修异熟果

所以这个地方说，佛告诉我们胜解是一切善品本哪！那这个胜解怎么来的？嘿！“此之根本”是“恒修异熟果”。哦，就是这个，就告诉我们不断地去修习这个道理。异熟果是什么？这个因感得这个果，就是这个道理。要怎么办呢？“恒修”。现在我们才了解了：噢，原来这个才是我们真正修行的啊！所以一天到晚思惟观察，起心动念无非是如此，这样。哪怕你休息了，他后面告诉我们的，休息了，你想了一下：“咳！我已经想了半天了，精进，修学佛法最重要的是精进，现在呢想过了休息一下，这个是精进当中必须要的。”所以你脑筋停下来的时候，它还在精进当中。然后停下来，紧跟着又再修行，还在精进当中。所以一天到晚在修习，所以这个进步是自然神速。到那个时候，你说你脑筋里一天到晚这么思惟，一天到晚欢喜，还会有苦恼吗？当然没有啊！
