把菩提心忘掉修善事也是魔業 - 第215集

Practising virtues without the bodhi mind is also a demonic karma

「忘失菩提心,修諸善法,是名魔業」。我們常常把菩提心忘掉了,妄想、雜念當家,菩提心沒有,修一切善事也是魔業。為什麼?你要了解六道的事實真相,斷一切惡,修一切善,果報在哪裡?

The sutra states, “Practising virtues without the bodhi mind is called ‘demonic karma.’” We often forget the bodhi mind, hence wandering and distracting thoughts become our master. Without the bodhi mind, practising all virtues are demonic karmas too. Why is that so? If you understand the reality of the Six Realms, where is the karmic consequence of ceasing all wrongdoings and practising all virtues?

在人天。人天在哪裡?沒出六道輪迴。造一切惡業墮三惡道,三惡道是消惡業的,三善道是消福報的、消善業的。不管你是善業、是惡業,統統是搞六道輪迴,這就叫魔道,出不了六道輪迴,希望我們要注意這樁事情。

The karmic consequence is in the realms of heavens and human beings. Where are these realms? They are still within the Six Realms of reincarnation. Committing all evil karmas will cause one to degenerate into the Three Evil Realms where one’s evil karmas will be eliminated, while the Three Good Realms is a place where one’s fortune and good karmas are eliminated. Whether you have committed good karmas or bad karmas, you will still be bound in the Six Realms of reincarnation called ‘the demonic paths.’ I hope everyone will pay attention to this.

在世間怎麼辦?斷惡不著斷惡的相,修善不著修善的相,你斷惡修善不造輪迴,這個好。這就是用菩提心,菩提心是覺而不迷,所以斷惡修善全是功德。如果還是用我們現在的輪迴心,斷惡修善依然出不了六道輪迴,這叫魔業。

What should you do in the world? When you cease wrongdoings and practise virtues, do not become attached to those acts. This is good because you do not create the cause of reincarnation and are using the bodhi mind, which is an enlightened and not deluded mind. That’s why ceasing wrongdoings and practising virtues are all merits. If you still use your present mind of reincarnation, then you cannot escape from the Six Realms even if you cease wrongdoings and practise virtues. This is called ‘demonic karma.’
