65B 02’39” Vol 9 of Lamrim Commentary P20 LL4 Master Jih-Chang’s Discourse

Through delighting in conscientiousness 
And fearing unruliness, 
Monks shake off all sins 
Like the wind shakes leaves off trees.
】  

The earlier part talks about the elephant being pulled from the mud. Oh, this is really toilsome! But later, it’s like “the wind shakes leaves from the trees.” Ah, that is very easily done. Oh! Yes, it is difficult at the very beginning. But it becomes very easy at the end.  When the wind blows, the leaves will just fall one after another. So the non-virtuous karma is cleared away immediately.  This being so, the proper view of dependent-arising and the causality of the two types of karma is the indispensable foundation for the practices of all the vehicles and the aims of all beings. 

As Nagarjuna's Friendly Letter says; 
If you actually desire high status [as a human or deity] and liberation, 
You must familiarize yourself with the correct view. 
With wrong views even a person who acts well 
Will have terrible fruitions in 
all lives.
   】 

The above  was cited from the sutra.  Below is the commentary.  Why does Nagarjuna Bodhisattva call this the Friendly Letter? Because this is your true friend! This is your real kin! The thing that we typically, [it’s all about] “me, me, me.” This is our enemy! So this truly good friend, this true kin, what does he tell us? If you seek the happy realms, if you seek liberation, then what should you do? This sentence, “you must familiarize yourself with the correct view.” For us, there is only one important thing that truly matters.  If you have the correct view, everything else will fall in place later. If you have the correct view, everything else will fall in place later.

业果 : 欲求善趣,多修正见

苾刍乐防慎,深畏诸放逸,能抖一切恶,如风吹树叶。”

前面是象出淤泥,噢,这个很辛苦哦!到后面哪,“风吹树叶”,啊,那个很轻松哦!是的,刚开始的时候是难的,到后来很轻松,风一吹,那个树叶是纷纷都掉下来,这个恶业马上就消得干干净净。


如是《亲友书》亦云:“若希善趣诸解脱,愿多修习于正见,若人邪见虽妙行,一切皆具苦异熟。”

前面是经,下面是论。那么龙树菩萨告诉我们,为什么叫《亲友书》啊?这个才是真正你的好朋友欸,这个才是你的亲人欸!平常我们,我、我、我,我这个东西,我们的冤家欸!这个真正的好朋友,真正的亲人怎么告诉我们哪?说你如果要求善趣、要求解脱的话,那应该怎么办哪?这一句话,“愿多修习于正见”。现在我们真正重要的只有一件事情,你有了正见哪,下面样样都来了,有了正见是下面样样都来了。
