【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Cultivation is much like winning a war

Cultivation will therefore be downright toilsome! But even though it is toilsome, you are happy in your mind. We would frequently use this example: It's much like winning a war. A war brings suffering, but you will feel really happy after a victory. This is the case no matter what you are doing, whether in business or anything else. How about the opposite of that? Sorry, ah, you might feel pretty happy now; you sound so good as you stand in front of others. However, when things need to be done, you covertly hide behind the crowd. Whatever that is delicious, you try to eat more of it. Whatever that is unsavory, you give to others. It may seem to bring some short term happiness. But I am sorry, when the effect ripens, though it is not something you would wish for, sorry, you "must endure with tears covering your face." Karma such as this, you should refrain from creating as soon as possible, should refrain from creating this as soon as possible!

业果 : 修行像大胜仗

修行本身是一件苦事哦！不过苦虽然苦，心理上却是快乐的。我们常常那个比喻：就像打胜仗一样，打仗总归是苦的，但是打胜了真快乐；不管做任何事情，做生意也好，做任何事情也好。反过来呢？对不起，啊，你眼前是觉得满安乐，唉呀，这个说起话来说得好听，站在人家前面，做起事情来，偷偷摸摸站在人家后面；好吃的东西总想多吃一点，坏吃的东西就推给别人去。眼前好像是少少安乐，但是对不起，果熟的时候，这个虽然不是你希望的，对不起，这个要你“泪流覆面，而须忍受”。像这样的业，趁早不要做，趁早不要做啊！
