【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Act as enemies to themselves

【And also:
The childish, who have little wisdom,
Act as enemies to themselves;
Through this, they perform sinful actions
The effects of which will become intense.
You are good not to engage in such actions
That give rise to torment,
Whose effects you endure one by one,
Weeping, your face is covered with tears.】

There are those who are insufficient in wisdom, those who are lacking [wisdom], the foolish and childish. Childish, we are truly childish when it comes to Buddhism. Indeed. But at least we have already entered the world of Buddhism. Although we are childish, we will slowly grow up. This is still something we should still feel fortunate about. Foolishness, under this circumstance, what would happen? "Act as enemies to themselves," this phrase describes our current state. We would, on all occasions, do things for ourselves. But in reality, we've done ourselves harm. Other people cannot harm you. Who really harms us is ourselves, is ourselves. How? By ignorance.

业果 : 于自如怨敌

【又云：“诸少慧愚稚，于自如怨敌，现行诸恶业，能感辛楚果。作何能逼恼，泪覆面泣哭，别别受异熟，莫作此业善。】

眼前那些智慧不够的人、缺少的人，愚痴幼稚，幼稚—我们在佛法上面的确是很幼稚，的确，但是总算我们已经进入佛法了，虽然幼稚啊，慢慢地会长大的，这个还是我们要自己庆幸的。愚痴，那么这一种情况之下，怎么办呢？“于自如怨敌”，这个话就是眼前我们的状态。我们处处地方觉得为我，实际上呢是害我，旁人没办法害你，真正害我们的，就是自己，就是自己。什么？无明。
