【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】The Dharma Protectors will protect us? 这个护法会护的？

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- The Dharma Protectors will protect us?

I hear from far too many people, “Ah! The Dharma Protectors will protect us.” If you are not conscientious but expect the Dharma Protectors to protect you, would that not be ludicrous? If you act according to the teachings, you will be issued that type of karmic effects. When you act according to the teaching, then they will protect you. What they are protecting is the teaching. They will not protect you when you act contrary to the teaching. You need to understand this. This is very plain and very clear. Therefore, at a time like this where the high and the low are fixed together, if you act according to the teaching and you forbear, then you are in accordance. And they will continue to protect you. The reason you are experiencing all sorts of unpleasant things is because of your past karma. After this karma is done, not only will the protectors safeguard you, but the Buddhas will also come to induct you. By then, even if you do not end up at PureLand, you would also go to the heavens. That would be right. This is what is real! Hence if you act according to the teaching, by then, they will safeguard you as according to the teachings! So we shouldn't act without regards [to the teachings] and then say, "Ah, the protectors [will protect us]..." There is no such thing. This is what we should understand. This is what we should understand.

业果 : 这个护法会护的？

我听见太多的人，啊！说这个护法会护的。你自己不努力，叫护法去护，这不是颠倒吗？你如法行，就有你这样的业力来感得，那个时候你如法，他才护你；他护的是法耶，他可没有护你非法，你要了解哦，这个很清楚、很明白。所以眼前在这个龙蛇混杂的状态当中，你如法、你忍，那个就是你如法，他会一直保护着你。你所以现在眼前感种种不如意，那是你宿生的业，等到这个业过完了以后，不但护法会护，佛菩萨会接引，到那个时候，你不到极乐世界也到天上去。对了嘛，这个才是真的呀！所以你如法行持，那个时候才会如法地护持你哦！不要我们自己不管，说：“啊，那个护法……”没有这样的事情。这个我们要了解，这我们要了解。
