【The Origin of Suffering 希求解脱】Contaminated virtuous karma 有漏的善业

【The Origin of Suffering】- Contaminated virtuous karma

In other words, among the virtuous, the nonvirtuous and the ethically neutral karma, the ethically neutral karma is excluded.  And then among the virtuous karma, there is the contaminated and the uncontaminated karma.  But the uncontaminated karma is not explained here because it will not cause rebirth.  And then even though there is contaminated karma, the noble beings will create contaminated karma, but the rebirth that is issued thereof is different from ours.  We won't explain that here either.  This is because what we should avoid now is to avoid the reacting dependent nature of an ordinary person, the problem of not having control. This is what causes us to suffer.  Noble beings are independent and choose to do so in order to save us.  They will not have to endure suffering.  Hence this is not discussed here.

So then among the ordinary persons, it refers to exactly this, the so called intermediate state that continues in the body and mind. What is the "intermediate state"?  When a life ends and before the next life begins, the intermediate state is exactly that.  Actually, this thing is not something that exists only after a death and before a birth.  It is something that is present in our lives now.  It is there still. In other words, this is the heart of life.

希求解脱 : 有漏的善业

那么换句话说善业、不善业、无记当中,无记业不算;然后呢善业当中有漏、无漏当中,无漏不是,因为它不会感得生死的。那么尽管有漏,圣人还是造有漏业,但是他这个感的生死,跟我们不一样,我们这里也不提。因为我们要避免的,就是避免凡夫被动的,你自己没有办法做主的,所以受苦;圣人他是主动的,为救我们,他并没有受苦,所以这个不在这里讨论。

那么这个凡夫当中,那就是指的这个,所谓相续身心上头继续相续的中有,“中有”是什么?前面一个生命结束,后面一个新生命没有感得的时候,这个中间这个。实际上这个东西,不是说我们前面死了后面未生,就是我们现生还是有,还是有,换句话这个就是生命的中心,是这一个东西。
