The complete virtuous action of
living in the morality abstaining from the negative karma
of ill will has four happy results:
(1) the fully
ripened result: You will
receive a good rebirth in the body of a happy migrator being
in the human or deva realms instead of rebirth in the suffering
lower realms.
(2) experiencing
the result similar to the previous cause:
When you are reborn as a human being in the future, you will
not experience seeking what is not beneficial. Other sentient
beings will not harm. Your mind will always be very happy and
comfortable, free of worry, doubting and fearing that others
will try to harm you because of your own ill will. Instead,
you will always seeks only what is beneficial, not what is harmful.
You will always look for means of livelihood and ways to be
happy and enjoy yourself that are beneficent rather than harmful.
For example, you will avoid fishing,
hunting, and other entertainment that involve harming others.
Ill will results in the wrong concept that sees harmful things
as beneficial. Thus, because of this wrong belief, one does
not seek what is beneficial but instead seeks what is harmful.
For example, many people believe that the activities they engage
in for entertainment, enjoyment, and relaxation are beneficial
when actually these activities such as drinking alcohol, taking
addictive drugs, smoking cigarettes, and so forth only harm
themselves and others.
(3) the
possessed result: In
the future when you are reborn in the human realm, your environment
will be free of contagious diseases, colds, harms, fighting,
wars, dangerous wild animals such as lions and tigers, harmful
animals and insects of all sizes that sting or bite, such as
vicious poisonous snakes, scorpions, mosquitoes, fleas, bed
bugs, spiders, bees, and lice, vicious harmful spirits, thieves,
robbers, and so on. The environment will be free of such things
as the unpleasantness of your precious food being discovered
and covered by ants, which is the result of either ill will
or stealing. So by practicing the morality abstaining from ill
will, you will be reborn in a place where these harmful elements
do not occur. Or if these things are there, you will not experience
their harm. Other beings will not harm you. Thus, your life
will be without fears, very happy, healthy, and comfortable.
(4) creating
the result similar to the previous cause
of living in the morality abstaining from ill will: In future
lives you will again be able to collect good karma by living
in the morality abstaining from ill will. This means you will
be able to stop giving harm to others and to yourself in this
way.
The complete virtuous action of
living in the morality abstaining from the negative karma
of wrong views has four happy results:
(1) the
fully ripened result:
You will receive a good rebirth in the body of a happy migrator
being in the human or deva realms instead of rebirth in the
suffering lower realms.
(2) experiencing
the result similar to the previous cause:
When you are reborn as a human being in the future, you will
not experience wrong views, such as being attracted to evil
friends, to non-virtuous actions, or to wrong doctrines such
as the disbelief in karma and reincarnation. Even though these
are reality of life, at the moment you dont have the clear
mind or havent yet developed the higher capacity to see
your own past karma and your own and others past and future
lives. Also you will not become deceptive and cunning at hiding.
You will naturally dislike wrong
views as mentioned above. You will be attracted to virtuous
actions, good friends, right philosophies. You will naturally
gravitate to those things that only develop your own wisdom
instead of building more and more mistaken views and concepts
and, therefore, more suffering and harm to others, because of
leading them on the wrong path. You will have great faith in
karma and reincarnation. You will have great interest in actions
that benefit others, in the practice of compassion and so forth.
Also you will discover great
faith in the Four Noble Truths (True Suffering, True Origin,
True Cessation of Suffering, and True Path) and the right
view of emptiness. Among the four schools of Buddhist philosophy,
you will be especially attracted to the Extremely subtle
Prasangika view, the only right view that can completely
cut that particular one ignorance that is the root of samsara,
thus eradicating all suffering and all the causes of suffering.
Because of your strong faith in the Prasangika view, then you
will quickly come to fully realize the unmistaken Prasangika
view, which will enable you quickly to achieve liberation from
all of samsara. Consequently, you will be able to liberate numberless
other sentient beings from all the suffering realms of samsara
and bring them to enlightenment with the support of bodhicitta,
the pure wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all
sentient beings.
(3) the
possessed result: In
the future when you are reborn in the human realm, you will
be born in a very wealthy and productive environment. It will
not be in a place where products are used, where commodities
degenerate or disappear. Also, you will not have the wrong view
that mistakes sufferings for pleasures. The biggest problem
in life is perceiving suffering as pleasure and then clinging
to that. People do many painful and suffering things for money,
reputation, and entertainment, but they regard these as pleasures.
For example, people see sado-masochistic practices, drug addiction,
and drinking alcohol as pleasures and instead of as sufferings.
In reality, all samsaric pleasures are suffering, though
they may appear as pleasure. Clinging to this misconception
is why we are continuously reborn in samsara over and over again.
The result of living in the morality
abstaining from wrong views is that you have correct perceptions;
therefore, you do not experience these mistakes. You are not
hallucinated by seeing suffering as pleasure, and instead realize
samsaric suffering as suffering, this helps you to be liberated
from that. When you have problems and need help, you will never
be unable to find a guide, an object of refuge. You will always
be able to find refuge, to find protection in the form of a
place or people to help you.
(4) creating
the result similar to the previous cause
of living in the morality abstaining from wrong views: In future
lives you will again be able to continue to practice Dharma
and to collect good karma by living in the morality abstaining
from wrong views. This means you will be able to stop giving
harm to others and to yourself in this way.
