【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Just as when the sun's rays destabilize snow

[Just as when the sun's rays destabilize snow

It melts in the unbearable brilliance,

So too do the snows of sins disappear

When destabilized by the sunbeams of

recitation and ethical discipline. [197] ]

There are passages of examples, one after the other. The second passage describes the sun rays. They shine on the snow mountain. As the sun rays shine, the snow cannot bear the sun rays and begin to melt. What do we use to shine here? "Sunbeams of recitation and ethical discipline." The ethical discipline is like the sun. Why is the ethical discipline like the sun? Why? We need to understand it. The reason we are learning the teaching, the reason we want to confess the karmic obstacles is what? It is to alleviate suffering and to obtain happiness. Why is there suffering? You have done bad karma. Now you understand it. Oh, that's what it was. So what are you going to do now? Eh, I have to do virtuous karma. But do you understand the karmic cause? You don't understand.

业果 : 犹如日光炙雪山

【犹如日光炙雪山，不耐赫炽而消溶，若以戒日念诵光，炙照恶雪亦当尽。】

一段一段的譬喻。第二个就像这个太阳光，然后呢照这个雪山一样。那个太阳光一照，啊！那个雪就耐不住都溶掉了。现在呢什么东西来照？“戒日”。这个戒像日一样，为什么戒像日一样？为什么？我们要懂得它。我们所以要修学佛法，所以要忏悔业障的原因是什么？要去苦、要得乐。为什么有苦？你造了恶业。现在你懂得了，哦，原来这样，那么你怎么办呢？欸，要造善业。但是业因你了解吗？不了解。所以我们到现在为止了解我们在愚痴、无明当中，对于这个业感缘起，只有佛才彻底了解，所以只有他制的戒法，才是完整的。所以你一心恭敬、一心照着去做的话，这个完全正见。这个正见是真正什么？无明的对治，就像光一样，点一点哪，黑暗就去掉了；像热一样，一来，就寒就消掉了。懂吗？
