【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Read more of the sutras and scriptures on karma
【Hence, using what has been explained as illustrations, you should look at the Mindfulness of the Excellent Teaching, the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, the Hundred Actions Sutra, the Hundred Bodhisattva Stories (Bodhisattvavadana-kalpalata), the prefaces in the discipline,449 and other scriptures as well to develop an intense and enduring certainty. Take this to be a goal of crucial importance. 】
So we should follow the principle being explained earlier. We should also read the Mindfulness of the Excellent Teaching, the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, the Hundred Actions Sutra, the Hundred Bodhisattva Stories (Bodhisattvavadana-kalpalata), the prefaces in the discipline. There are many others like the Sutra of Miscellaneous Jewels (Saṃyukta-ratna-piṭaka-sūtra), Jātaka sūtras, and also ity-uktaka, these are the ones. And then there are “other scriptures.” like the ones I have been asking you to read such as Liao Fan’s Four Lessons, the story of Yu-Ching-Yi-Gong meeting the Kitchen God story, and classical Chinese Moral Stories. These are the ones. The more you read, the deeper will be your impressions are. You will have to do so to what extent? We have to do so until we “develop an intense and enduring certainty.” Your mind develops this certainty with no doubts. And you have to maintain this certainty continuously. Not only continuously, it must be intense and enduring. We should make this as the most important thing in our practice, most important thing in our practice.

业果 : 多阅业果经典
【故应多阅前文所说，及《念住经》《贤愚因缘》，《百业》，《百喻》，及《毗奈耶》，《阿笈摩》中，诸多因缘，并诸余典，令起猛利恒常定解，应当持为极扼要义。】
所以我们应该照前面告诉我们的这个道理，还要《念住经》、《贤愚因缘经》、《百业经》、《百喻经》、《毗奈耶经》。还有很多哦，像《杂宝藏经》、本生，然后呢这个本事啊，都是这些。乃至于“诸余典”，诸余典就是我现在给你们看的《了凡四训》、《俞净意公遇灶神记》、《德育古鉴》啊，这些都是。你看得越多，你的印象越深，一直等到什么程度才可以呢？“令起猛利恒常定解”，这个心里的念头确定不疑，而且这种确 定不疑地继续保持，不但继续保持而且力量恒常，应该把这个作为我们修持最重要的，修持最重要的。
