【The Origin of Suffering】- Affliction spurs the accumulation of karma

If you look at this in the reverse,

【A further reason afflictions are primary is because—even without previously accumulated karma—if afflictions are present, you immediately accumulate new karma, and will thereby appropriate aggregates in the future.】

Even if you do not have previously accumulated karma, but you have afflictions, the afflictions will provide the conditions for you to accumulate karma. Eh! Since there are afflictions, you will then immediately pursue that to accumulate karma. As soon as you accumulate karma, both conditions of afflictions and karma are met; it immediately causes birth again. Hence from understanding this, among the causes of cyclic existence - affliction and karma, we have found the primary one to be the delusions, the afflictions.

希求解脱 : 烦恼带动造业

反过来呢，

【又若有烦恼，纵无宿业，无间新集，取后有故。】

就算是你没有宿业，但是你有烦恼，因为你有烦恼，这个烦恼呀，它会烦恼为缘哪，会使你生长这个业。欸！因为有烦恼在，这个业就跟着来造了，一跟着造，惑、业具足啊，它马上又生了。所以在这个地方，我们又从这个惑、业，生死的因当中，找到最主要的主脑是惑，是烦恼。
