【The Origin of Suffering】- how does the mental karmic force arise at the moment of death? (2)

This is what we should understand.  Therefore normally, you do not have to wait until death to find out.  How your next thought arises now, this is how it will be.  For every thought that comes next, the moment of death also brings about the next thought.  It is that simple.  Hence the true cultivation that we do while we are living, what are we cultivating?  We are cultivating this.  How did the previous thought come about?  It has to do with your causally concordant effect.  Therefore after you understand this...prior to understanding this principle, all you can do is follow it—however the last thought came, you will immediately pursue it!  That's exactly how it is.  Hence it is called ignorance.  After you understand how your last thought came about, at this point you know, "Ah, this is wrong!" We all remember the confession, right?  This is said in the confession, "From the beginningless times, I have done ten nonvirtuous actions and five deeds of immediate retribution because my mind pursued my afflictions." The mind pursues afflictions.  But how do you pursue afflictions?  It is nothing more than the pursuit in your arising thoughts, the causally concordant effect.  Here it comes again.  Eh, you recognize it.  Then you will not follow it.  Therefore, "I confess for all my sins!"

希求解脱 : 临终前的心业力是怎么产生？2

所以你平常，不要说等到死的时候，眼前下一念怎么来的，就是这样。每一个下一念，到临终的时候它也仍旧是下一念，就这么简单。所以平常我们生前真正的修，就是修什么呢？就是修这个。那么上一念怎么来的呢？等流。所以说你了解了之后，你不了解这个道理，你只有跟着它走—上一念怎么来，那么紧跟着这么走啊！就是这个样啊，所以这个叫无明。了解了上一念这么来，到这地方晓得：啊，不对！所以我们忏悔当中大家还记得吧？忏悔当中说“我无始以来，十恶五无间，心随烦恼故”，心跟着这个烦恼，哪里跟起啊？没有别的，就是你起心动念之间，等流。它又来了，欸，你认得它，那时候我不跟它，所以“诸罪皆忏悔”呀！
