74A 16’43” Vol 10 of Lamrim Commentary P49 L6 Master Jih-Chang’s Discourse

There is a very famous story in China - the wife of the emperor Liáng Wǔ Dì. It is said that at the moment of her death, a servant was fanning her and accidentally touched her, touched her. So at the moment of death, she gave rise to one thought of hostility and therefore fell into the miserable realms. Just like that. If that one thought did not arise, she may not have gone down. Just like this. In other words, this is why for ordinary beings, at the moment of death, we should pay particular attention to not touch them, to not do things to them. This is because at that time, they are at a juncture to ascend or descend for their next life. So if you can help a [departed] person at the moment of death by evoking his particular virtuous karma, then even though he was not supposed to go to a better place, but you would have helped him to ripen that seed first. Contrary to that, if you make him suffer and bring out his hostility, his future life could be altered to something else. These are what we would call karma of the desire realm. But the invariable karma is different. Invariable karma cannot be altered. If one is to receive the effects of an invariable karma, then this is the only thing that would happen.

希求解脱 : 不动业的反例

我们中国有一个很有名的公案—梁武帝的太太。那么据说她这个临终的时候,那个佣人给她扇什么东西碰了她,碰了她,她临终时生了一念瞋心,于是她堕落了,就这样。如果说那一念不起来,她不一定是这个,就是这样。换句话说,我们为什么凡夫临终的时候,特别要注意不要去碰他,要怎么样,因为那个时候,这是他下一生升沈的关键所在。如果说你临终的时候助他一臂之力的话,引发他的特别的善业的话,他本来不可能到那地方去,他这个种子先成熟。反过来,使他痛苦引发他瞋心的话,他又改变了另外一个,这个叫作平常说欲界。不动业,没有,不动业不会,他感得了这个就是这个。
