【The Origin of Suffering 希求解脱】Karma created for pleasant feelings (1) 为乐受而造集的业 1

【The Origin of Suffering】- Karma created for pleasant feelings (1)

【This has two subtypes: if your concern is mainly for the pleasures of this lifetime, prior to death, then you accumulate nonmeritorious action;】

Look, this part explains very clearly. If you are doing it for "pleasant feelings" - we will then create all kinds of karma. Our goal is not purposely to look for sufferings. We are still looking for happiness. But when we are looking for happiness, here it comes! The first type of person, before they die, which is talking about ourselves now, in order to seek present pleasures, one will create all kinds of nonvirtuous karma. Ah! This has to be delicious, this has to be flavorful...so one would try every means to search for food. One will catch the birds in the sky, the fishes in the ocean and even dig the creatures out of their holes. And eat up all these lives. Ah! One has created all kinds of karma from killing. One would come up with all sorts of methods to make others’ belongings as his. Why? It is all for this pleasant feeling. But great nonvirtuous karma has been created at this time. If one further understands, "Oh! This is meaningless. It is meaningless when we die." Therefore,

喏，这地方就说得很清楚了，你为了“乐受义”—我们造种种业，目的绝对不是故意要找苦的，还是要找快乐。不过这个要找快乐当中，来了！第一种人呢，未死以前，就是现在我们，眼前哪，为了贪求眼前的快乐，于是造种种恶业。哎呀！这个要好吃，这个要味道，然后呢上天入地无所不作；天上的飞鸟，海里面是鱼，那洞里面还把它挖出来，样样把它要吃进去。唉呀！造那个种种的杀业。然后呢造种种的方便，把别人的变成自己的。为什么？还是为了乐受，这个时候造了大恶业。进一步了解：哦！这个一点意思都没有，两脚一伸毫无意思。所以，

【二正缘来世诸欲乐故，增长福业。】

这个你求未来的，这是“福业”，这个这样。这个所谓向外缘的称为两种。
