大日如来佛祖的开示 The Teachings of Mahāvairocana Buddha

“很多人轻视因果，不明白因果对人生有着很严重的影响。因为许多人对因果的认知比较肤浅，不是很深入明白因果的道理。也因为有轮回转世才有因果。也因为有因果的存在，促使轮回转世一直不断地延伸下去。如果要阻止轮回转世的运作，一定要好好地去看待本身的因果，这是最基本的概念。

在看因果时，虽然神明有责任让你知道你的三世因果，这也只是让你明白因果的存在。你的因果不只是三世，也包含所有前世累世的经历，在人生过程中还没有化解的因果，都会累积在你今生。神尊告知你的因果，主要是要你好好在今生最基本的面对你今生的因果考题或考试，不代表你今生考题过关后，就能够取得开悟。因为你可能还是有潜在的因果还没处理完。

所以不要只是专注于三世因果，因为有可能你有累积其他的因果，未必是在你的三世因果解说当中，因为灵界是不可能告诉你全部，主要是因为你们是来考试，不是神尊来考试。因为这样，你必须要懂得或抱着一种开拓的思维来面对自己人生的过程，不要限制于现有的生活方式，换句话说，不要太过习惯于现在所拥有的生活方式，应该勇于去尝试去做一些从未做过的事情，主要的原因是要让自己有机会发现发掘还存在的因果因素，那才会有机会把剩余的因果处理清除。这样一来，在今世要取得开悟机会比较大，否则还需要在未来几世来探讨自己的因果。

今世修得好，不代表来世也会修得好，因为你有可能无法找到配合的魂魄或无法找到适合修行的环境。可是，你的智慧还是存在你灵体中，它不会消失，可能在未来的转世中，灵界还是会给你机会投胎于一个环境，让你能够去探讨更深一层的修行。所以在整个过程中，你会感到很辛苦，甚至觉得迷茫，但希望你不要让这些挑战阻止你提升你更高的智慧。只要你很清楚明白你的方向和目标，甚至在今生如果无法达到你所求的，你也不会浪费你的精神和精力在追求你的开悟之道，这是很值得你去探讨的事，所以不要气馁，要勇于面对自己的考格。

因果会时常让人感到很无奈，尤其是你一方面地很努力地想要化解与他人的纠葛问题，但是因为他人不明白因果的道理，所以也会对你无动于衷，这是一个很自然的现象。不要因为面对化解因果的困苦而放弃，因为终有一天，你的用心，会很自然而然的打动对方，他也会慢慢地接受因果的存在。只要你不气馁不放弃，基本上自己能够很积极地面对因果问题，必然会解决多数，也可能把你的因果全部消除，然后会取得开悟。

也希望你不把因果当成人生的负担，因为当你有这样的想法时，你已经败在你的因果中，但是如果你把因果当成是一个让你开悟的机会，当你把握这个机会时，很自然而然你就会取得很好的效果，而且你的智慧会有很明显的提升。所以不要把因果当成是一种负担。

其实，与他人的因果不难处理，只要懂得多用心、多一点爱心、多一点理解，建立与对方更好的关系。只要意图纯真，正确，很积极地要化解与他人因果纠葛的问题，就不会成为很大的障碍。其实，最难化解的是自己的因果，也就是自己的执念、执著、渴望、欲望，这都会成为本身最主要的障碍。本身的因果就像是你的影子，许多人都知道自己有影子，但如果这个人，是处在黑暗中，他就看不到自己的影子，所以因果的概念也是一样。当你带来一些因果纠葛问题，自然而然就会看不到自己，就像在黑暗中看不到自己的影子一样。

所以你一定要突破重围，因为当你自己无法突破自己的因果时，你也很难与他人建立更良好的关系，所以这就是先渡己、后渡人的道理。你所看到凡世间的种种问题，基本上都是来自个人的问题，个人的问题在社会社群的生活、在家中的生活，导致了与他人因果纠葛的问题。如果每个人都能好好地看待自己的因果，好好去处理，基本上很多的因果多数都已不存在。如果真的想要面对因果的障碍，一定要先从自己开始，当你认同这个想法，就表示你知道自己的缺点，然后愿意接受这些缺点，并且也很用心地去处理缺点，把它变成优点，这样一来，在社群生活中，在家庭生活中，这些因果摩擦的状态，自然而然地会消除。

所以修行在于自己，虽然是一起同修，也未必会一起开悟。开悟在于自己的理解、醒悟，所以在学习过程中，不要太过于限制自己，如何取得更多的机会、面对更多的挑战，主要的因素就是用更多的方式提升自己，让自己能够突破因果轮回的真理。 如果你能够看到自己，就是你最重要的一步。如果你看不到自己，就很难开始修行道路。所以一定要很重视这一点，因为你的起步是最重要的。如果你是因为其他因素而开始走向修行道路，你必然会在这个道路上碰到许多障碍，还有阻拦，使到你会感到气馁，而且也会想要放弃。因此，只要你明白修行最终还是要面对自己，基本上今世你已赢了这场胜仗。” 

“Many people disregard karma, failing to understand its profound impact on their lives. This is because their understanding of karma is often superficial; they lack a deep comprehension of its principles. The existence of karma is intrinsically linked to reincarnation, and it is the very presence of karma that perpetuates the continuous cycle of rebirth. To halt the process of reincarnation, one must earnestly confront one's karma—this is the most fundamental concept.

When examining your karma, although the divine takes the responsibility to reveal your "three-lifetime karma," this is merely to help you understand that karma exists. However, your karma is not limited to just these three lifetimes; it encompasses all the unresolved experiences from all your past lives, accumulating in your present one. The karma revealed by divinity is primarily to guide you in facing the fundamental karmic tests and trials of this life. It does not mean that passing these tests guarantees enlightenment, as you may still have latent karma yet to be addressed.

Therefore, do not focus solely on your karma based on this. You may have accumulated other karma that is not part of this explanation. The divine realm cannot reveal everything, mainly because you are the ones being tested, not them. For this reason, you must adopt an open and expansive mindset as you embark on your life's journey. Do not confine yourself to your current way of life. In other words, do not become too accustomed to what you have now. You should have the courage to try new things, primarily to allow yourself to discover and uncover any remaining karmic factors. Only then will you have the chance to resolve and clear the rest. This will significantly increase your chances of attaining enlightenment in this lifetime; otherwise, you will need to continue exploring your karma in future lives.

Cultivating well in this life does not guarantee the same for the next. You may not find a compatible soul or a suitable environment for cultivation. However, the wisdom you have gained will remain within your spirit; it will not disappear. In future reincarnations, the divine realm may still grant you the opportunity to be reborn into an environment that allows you to explore a deeper level of cultivation. Throughout this process, you may feel great hardship and even confusion, but do not let these challenges deter you from elevating your higher wisdom. As long as you are clear about your direction and goals, even if you cannot achieve all that you seek in this life, you will not have wasted your time and energy on the path to enlightenment. This is a journey worth exploring, so do not be discouraged; face your karmic tests courageously.

Karma can often feel frustrating, especially when you are diligently trying to resolve the entanglements with others. They may remain indifferent to you because they do not understand the principles of karma. This is a natural phenomenon. Do not give up in the face of the difficulties of resolving karma. One day, your earnest efforts will naturally move the other person, and they will gradually come to accept the existence of karma. As long as you are not discouraged and do not give up, and you proactively face your karmic issues, you will inevitably resolve most of them, and perhaps even eliminate all your karma, thereby attaining enlightenment.

I hope you do not view karma as a burden in life. When you have such a thought, you have already been defeated by your karma. However, if you see karma as an opportunity for enlightenment and seize this chance, you will naturally achieve excellent results, and your wisdom will see a significant enhancement. Therefore, do not treat karma as a burden.

In truth, resolving karma with others is not impossible. It simply requires more sincerity, more love, and more understanding to build a better relationship. As long as your intentions are pure, correct, and you are proactive about resolving your karmic entanglements, they will not become significant obstacles. The most challenging is resolving one's karma—one’s attachments, obsessions, cravings, and desires. These become your primary hindrances. One's karma is like a shadow. Many people can see their shadows, but if someone is in darkness, they cannot see their shadows. The concept of karma is the same. When you carry karmic entanglements, you naturally cannot see yourself, just as you cannot see your shadow in the dark.

Therefore, you strive to break through these barriers. When you cannot overcome your karma, it is impossible to build better relationships with others. This is the principle of "liberating oneself before liberating others." The various problems you see in the mortal world stem from individual issues. These personal problems, in the context of social and family life, lead to karmic entanglements with others. If everyone could properly examine and deal with their karma, most of these karmic issues would cease to exist. If you truly want to face the obstacles of karma, you must start with yourself. When you accept this idea, it means you recognise your shortcomings, are willing to accept them, and are diligently working to transform them into strengths. In doing so, the friction of karma in your social and family life will naturally dissipate.

Thus, cultivation lies within oneself. Even if a group cultivates together, they may not all achieve enlightenment. Enlightenment depends on one's understanding and awakening. In the learning process, do not limit yourself. Seek more opportunities and face more challenges. The key is to use various methods to elevate yourself and break through the truth of the karmic cycle of reincarnation.

Being able to see yourself is the most crucial first step. If you cannot see yourself, it will be arduous to begin the path of cultivation. It is imperative to place great importance on this, as your beginning is the most critical. If you start on the path of cultivation for other reasons, you will inevitably encounter many obstacles and hindrances that will cause you to feel discouraged and want to give up. Therefore, as long as you understand that cultivation ultimately means facing yourself, you will have won the battle against karma in this lifetime.”
