【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】 the winds of ethical discipline fan the fires of recitation 戒风吹燃念诵火

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- the winds of ethical discipline fan the fires of recitation

Therefore, if you truly understand this, then no one is an exception to this, even if we ask you not to cultivate, 

you can't stop. You will come to realize that, "With a small amount of effort, for a great sin from the past, I can clear it away in an instant. Conversely, if I am attached to some puny [upfront] advantages now, my sufferings in the future will be immeasurable and boundless!" Um, this is it. But there is another issue here! Though in the spring this confession does not require a lot of effort and you can wipe out the weeds with fire at once, what is the other condition that you will need? "Likewise, the winds of ethical discipline fan the fires of recitation and the flames of great perseverance burn up sins." You will need one thing. It would not work without the wind. What kind of wind is this? Ethical discipline! Therefore, this tells us that if you do not have ethical disciplines, you can't be talking about this. Therefore, to train in the teaching, the first thing to do is to keep ethical discipline!

业果 : 戒风吹燃念诵火

所以你真正懂得了，没有一个人例外的，它绝对会教你不修行都做不到。你会了解：我只要花这么小小的气力，把以前这么大的恶，一下就弄干净掉了；反过来呢，你贪小小的一点点便宜，将来受的苦是无量无边哪！嗯，就这个。可是这个里边有一个问题哦！它虽然这个春天，这个忏罪的时候你不要努力，一下就可以把它杂草都烧光，还要什么条件？“戒风吹燃念诵火，大精进焰烧诸恶”，要靠一样东西，没有风不行，什么风啊？戒！所以告诉我们，你持戒没有的话，谈不到。所以这个修学佛法，第一件事情是戒！
