【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】 repay debt (as roasted duck) 烧鸭还债

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- repay debt (as roasted duck)

I went out yesterday in the afternoon and I passed by a restaurant that sold roasted duck.  I took a glance.  The price for a roasted duck was $240 (NTD). My heart was racing for a long time! "Bon, bon, bon, bon."  Say you have committed some small random sinful action and happen to owe someone $240 (NTD), wait and see how you will have to pay him back!  For $240 (NTD), where could we not spend this amount and how could we not save this amount?  Sorry.  Say you have committed a sin and owe this tiny bit amount of money.  To be grilled like this, roasted like this, and then be eaten by others [in order to repay], it is not worth it!  It is truly not worth it!  Sometimes I happen to step on ants.  With just one step down, ah, there could be dozens of them at once!  A small sin that you commit would mean that by then, you could be in any random situation, there, there, there you are [struck] all of a sudden by others...  Therefore, no matter how great your miseries are now, do not be saying, "Ah, this place is not good this way and not good in that way!  Sorry, it absolutely does not feel like a knife cut, right?  In the future when you suffer the [real] misery, a knife cut would be the best experience you could have.  That is absolutely true. This is what we should understand!

业果 : 烧鸭还债

我昨天下午出去，回来的时候经过一个板鸭店，一看，已经烧熟的一只烤鸭二百四十元。唉呀，我一看心里面“蹦、蹦、蹦、蹦”跳了半天！我说我现在随便造一点恶业，随便欠人家二百四十块钱，到那时候你还他！现在你呀二百四十块钱哪里用不掉，哪里省不下来？对不起，你那个时候如果造了恶业的话，然后呢欠了这么一点点，就被他烧成这个样，烤成这个样，然后被人家吃，划不来呀！实在划不来，实在划不来呀！然后有的时候我跑过去跑到蚂蚁，一脚踩下去，啊，一下几十个！我们造了一点恶业，到那个时候你随随便便任何情况之下，喏、喏、喏，被人家一下这样的话……所以现在再怎么大的苦，不要说：唉呀，现在这个地方这个不行、那个不行啊！对不起，绝对不会像刀割在你身上吧？到那时你受苦的时候，那刀割是最好的哟，那是千真万确的哟，这是我们应该了解的啊！
