Now we say that if you want to succeed in everything，you can control it by yourself; if you want to ruin everything, you can also grasp it by yourself! Are you really able to grasp it? What things, when and under what circumstances do you have a bad grasp of?
That is , when you have vexation, or when you have ignorance, you will be loss of discretion for the sake of greed,for the sake of hatred,for the sake of stupidness, for the sake of arrogance,for the sake of doubt and suspicion, for the sake of jealousy.
What is a loss of discretion? The scale that is not well grasped, the performance that should not be well performed, the exaggeration that should be not well exaggerated, the methods and ways that should be not well grasped. You can’t make clear that these evil deeds will show their effects .
If you have ignorance, you will meddle. A wise man doesn’t meddle. These things are very important in themselves, because we need a tendency toward good for everything, and we don’t hope everything for ourselves will be a tendency toward bad.
Think about it，everyone. Did that episode above we just talked about happen? And then I said, why did it happen? There are many mysteries or profound theories here, enough for everyone to discuss.If you can grasp it well, it will become an arising of good conditions.
We used to advocate cultivating yourselves by planting causes, which was done in the past. At present it is time to train us of all to work on the arising of conditions.
The state of the spirit, speech, expressions or actions are called the arising of conditions, that which can be well controlled and the bad results to be displayed will also become more favorable.
That which the bad atmosphere that should be endured will be minimized and even change the retribution.
We all want to attain good retribution and do not want to attain bad retribution.If we want to change the bad retribution of having been made, we may repent.
Is there nothing left for us to do but repenting? There is also the help of the arising of conditions.With the help of the arising of conditions we can change the causes created in the past.
Repentance is like sulfuric acid, which can burn the seeds of evil to death. But what about the ones that have grown too big to be burnt to death? We must think of ways to change with the help of the arising of conditions.
Summary: The Benefits of Creating Good Conditions
The article argues that our actions and choices, or “arising of conditions,” significantly influence our outcomes. It emphasizes that while past actions may have created negative consequences, we can work to change these through present efforts.
