【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Use the standard to examine your mind

【Though you make great effort not to be defiled by wrongdoing, faults may arise due to such things as carelessness and a preponderance of afflictions. If this happens, it is inappropriate to disregard them without caring, so you must try to apply the remedy about which the compassionate Teacher spoke. 】

This is to say that we now "make great effort", "make great effort!" He says that if we make great efforts as such but we still may engage in wrongdoings from being inattentive, careless or from having a preponderance of afflictions. If we are not already making great efforts then we won't even need to discuss this paragraph. We won't even need to discuss this paragraph. Therefore, these three words are what we should use to examine our minds. We have said this many times before, whenever we talk about things as such, there is a standard. Remember this! You should on all occasions use the standard to examine your own mind stream, to examine your own mind stream. Just because you understand the words, you should not be running around to "boast." Next it will say that after you've examined yourself [to find the errors], do not just let it go, do not just let it go. You must strive to follow what the Buddha told us and apply the remedy.

业果 : 拿标准检查身心

【如是励力，虽欲令其恶行不染，然由放逸,烦恼盛等增上力故，设有所犯，亦定不可不思放置，应励力修大悲大师所说，还出方便。】

像我们现在这样地“努力”，这样地“努力”！他是说这样努力法啊，还不小心，或者是放逸，或者是烦恼强的关系还要犯；如果我们不努力的话那这个地方不谈了，那这个地方不谈了。所以这两个字，我们也应该摆在心里上面衡量一下。我们已经说过很多次，所以现在凡是讲到这个地方，我们都有一个标准，记住！处处地方拿那个标准啊，用来检查自己的身心相续，用来检查身心相续。不要听懂了这个字，然后呢跑得去到处去“乱盖”。下面说，检查到了，那个时候不要说让它去，不要让它去，一定要努力照佛告诉我们的还出的方法。
