【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Do not commit sinful actions

【The Collection of Indicative Verses:434
If you fear suffering
And do not enjoy it,
Do not commit sinful actions
Either in public or in private.】

The scripture tells us: right now you are afraid of suffering, that's right! You may ask me if I’m afraid or not? Of course I’m afraid! I think all of the classmates here have the same feeling as I do? Suffering is frightening. You don’t like suffering. If you don’t like suffering, and don’t want to suffer, then whether it is in the public or in private, it doesn't matter when, there should never be a time to commit sinful actions. You should not create this now,

【Whether you have committed sinful actions
Or are committing them,
You will not escape suffering
Even if you tried to run away.】

Suppose you have already committed [the sinful actions], or will commit them, for whatever that is done, no matter how you try to run away, sorry, you cannot escape it. You will not be able to escape from the [resulting] suffering.

【No matter where you stay, there is no place
That karma has not created,
Neither in the sky nor in the ocean,
Nor even a place in the mountains. [195]】

There is no place for you to escape. For the fruition of karma, such is the principle. That's how it is!

业果 : 莫作诸恶业

【《集法句》云：“若汝怖畏苦，汝不爱乐苦，于现或不现，莫作诸恶业。】

经上告诉我们：你现在是怕苦，对啊！问我怕不怕？当然怕！我想我们在座的同学大家都跟我有同感吧？苦的确怕，你不爱苦，如果你不爱苦、不想苦的话，那么眼前或者不眼前的，不管任何时候，那个时候不要造恶业。眼前是不要造，

【设已作恶业，或当作亦然，汝虽急起逃，然不能脱苦。】

如果说已经作了，或者将来要作的，凡是造了以后不管你怎么逃，对不起，逃不掉的，那个苦你没办法逃。

【任其居何处，无业不能至，非空非海内，亦非入山中。】

没有一个地方逃得掉，这个业是感这个道理就是这样，就是这样！
