The Light of Life
Sunshine Breakfast
生命之光·阳光早餐
我们这个时代,对可忍、可喜的业,不可忍、不可喜的业,人人都会有一个认知。我们尽量做大家认可、喜悦的业;不认可、不喜悦的事,我们自己少做或者尽量调整它,这不失为一个生存的方便。是不是这样子的呢?如果不是这样子的,你去做那些你自己不可忍、别人也不可忍的一些事情,或者你自己可忍、别人不可忍的事情,那就会受苦。我们说那是个堕落缘,不是先机,就是我们会被动修补。
恶业的被动修补与善业的主动先机,希望大家心里有一个相对明了的东西,在自己的言行作为中去考量。那我们大家可以在生活中去给自己、给他人多提供一点先机。自己不需要修补,人就可以往前走。不是被动的,没有必要被动。要是在这个地方不警觉,事情做了就修补,做了就修补,很累人!
在生命中,因果观察是一个挺重要的智慧观察。

To take early advantage
and avoid fixing later
If we understand that karma, whether be good karma, bad karma or saint karma, are all illusory, then we are able to face them. Otherwise we often cannot afford the consequences. It is not a good idea for us to run away from what we should be responsible for. As a matter of fact, We should be enlightened from those karma that both other people and ourselves are not willing to or not able to bear. If we don’t, it causes troubles.
Everyone in our time has a sense about what is good karma that people like or accept and what is bad karma that people hate and reject. So we should do as much as possible what people like and avoid doing or do as least as possible what people hate. It is the way that we can survive in this world, isn’t it? If you don’t think so, you are free to conduct deeds unacceptable for both others and for yourself, or deeds that you like but other people hate. But you will have to suffer. We called it a fallen chance that you will be passive and have to fix it later.
I hope everyone of us should be clear about the difference between evil karma that puts us in passive position and needs to be made up later and good karma that makes us to be active and position well. Thereby in life we should give other people and ourselves the opportunity to take a head start, helping other people go ahead and leaving ourselves nothing to be fixed. It is not necessary for us to fall into a passive position. If we don’t pay attention to this point, however, things may need to be repaired whenever they got done. It is quite tiring.
Observing on the cause and effect is a key observing wisdom in life.

Editor's Note
While following our Master Cifa and learning Buddhism from him, very often I cannot help being moved by his targeted instructions and benefit a lot from them. Now, with a sincerely offering heart for you my fellow practitioners, I’d like to try as much as I can to share his instructions with all of you that I have recorded and sorted out. These series of records covered a number of problems from our daily life. Each problem is reflected from a specific perspective. I hope that we can learn by analog to observe and enlighten our whole life, so as, according to dharma, to arouse us to start using the inherent pure Buddha-nature as our wonderful arising condition, and make our life more beautiful, richer and more colorful.
