【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Acting vigilantly with correct Mindfulness

Do you remember the earlier section, on "restraining the sensory faculties, acting vigilantly?" What are you restraining in “restraining the sensory faculties”? The first one, what do you use to restrain? Correct mindfulness, a constant and persistent correct mindfulness. What about “acting vigilantly”? You would still need to know what you are supposed to be doing, which means you still need correct mindfulness! You take this correct mindfulness and do what with it? You accord it with the teachings. That's how it is here as well. That's how you should be mindful. For me, how should I be spending the 24 hours in a day? As long as we take time to ask this of ourselves, we will naturally be doing things correctly. Yes! I wish for the best. If you wish for the best then you should strive hard in the causal period. Therefore, when you truly understand this point, you will feel joyous throughout the entire day! That is because you are now aware of planting the cause which will produce a virtuous effect!

业果 : 用正念来守护

你们还记得前面这个“密护根门，正知而行”，密护根门护的什么？第一个，拿什么东西来护？正念。经常、殷重的正念，喏！正知而行呢？你还是晓得你做些什么，那还是拿那个正念呀！拿这个正念，什么呢？如法相应，现在这里也是如此，是这样地念：我啊，现在二十四小时该怎么个过法？我们只要好好地去问一下，那个时候你自然而然你会做得好的。是啊！我要求好；要求好嘛，你在因地上面努力。所以你真正了解了这一点，你就一天到晚好欢喜啊！因为你感觉很清楚：现在你下那个因，就是那个善果啊！
