【The Origin of Suffering】- Strive on the karmic cause

So what this place is telling us is that for the karma we accumulate, what are the [different] karmas? We now understand that the contents to karma are intentions and intended actions. And these are our physical, verbal, and mental actions. Among them, what is the primary one? It is intention (compositional activities). The primary one is intention. Even though physical and verbal actions are karma, but what are physical and verbal actions? They arise at the same time as our compositional activities. It's just like that. Therefore this is the karma accumulated that would put us in cyclic existence. This is the karma accumulated. If we wish to obtain a virtuous effect, we should then strive on the cause that we accumulate. We should pay attention to not stray down the wrong path, to not stray down the wrong path. If we wish to avoid suffering, we should think of ways to avoid non-virtuous karma. Now that you are clear on this concept, then when you want to cultivate, you will have a correct understanding. You can then practice.
