【The Origin of Suffering】- What is Intention (1)

【The Compendium of Knowledge:
What is intention? It is mental karma that involves the mind; it acts to engage the mind in virtuous, non virtuous, and ethically neutral activities.】

It is this. "Intention"- intention is one of the mental processes that we would speak of in general. It is a state of mind. This state of mind will cause our mind to engage in activities. It is just like that. When we think in our minds, "Eh! I see something, I like it." At this time, our minds will like it. We will then think of ways to obtain what we like. If you  dislike it, you will then reject that which you dislike. Hence, our various actions come from this kind of state of mind.

希求解脱 : 什么是思业 1

【如《集论》云：“云何为思，谓令心造作意业，于善不善及无记中，役策心为业。”】

就是这个。“思”，思就是我们通常所谓的心所法之一，这种心理状态。这一种心理状态，使得我们的心意去造作，就是这样的。我们心里想：欸！看见了，这欢喜这东西。那时候我们心里面就会欢喜，然后我们就想办法去获得这个我们欢喜的这个东西。你讨厌，那个时候你会觉得要去排斥你所讨厌的东西。所以我们种种的行为，都由于这种心理状态而来。
