【ENG DUB】The Mirror of Causality 03-1 Ten Ways of Action | 十业道 #buddhism #dharma #buddha 

业无时无处不造，
Karma is created anytime, anywhere.
面对这无量无边的业，我们该从哪些方面着手、对业果之理引发定解从而如理取舍呢？
Faced with the boundless karma, what should we start from, to develop a firm conviction about the principle of karma, thus make wise decisions? 
一切善恶业都依身、口、意三门而造作，
All positive and negative karma is created through body, speech, and mind.
就此三门所造的无量业中首要把握那些感果极大的根本之业。
Among them, we should first focus on the the fundamental karma that leads to huge karmic results.
针对根本如理取舍，自然能防大罪生起而摄持广大的义利。
By choosing what to do and what not to do based on the fundamental, we can naturally prevent major sins and have great benefits.

依于此理，佛摄黑业之扼要而说十黑业道，
Based on this principle, the Buddha explained the ten negative actions:
即身业之杀盗淫；口业之妄语、离间语、粗恶语、绮语；意业之贪、嗔、邪见等。
The physical acts of killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct; the verbal acts of lying, sowing discord, harsh words, and worthless chatter; and the mental acts of greed, anger, wrong views, etc.

反之，断除十黑业，必能产生广大无边的利益，
Conversely, by abandoning these ten negative actions, we can cultivate boundless benefits.
其为白业之重点，故佛又说十白业道。 
This is the essence of positive actions, so Buddha also explained the ten positive actions.

如是对于十业道应深入、细致地思惟十业及其果报，务令生起定解，
Therefore, we should contemplate the ten ways of action and their respective karmic results deeply and carefully, and make sure to develop a firm conviction.
如是方能在这一正一反的善恶业上断然取舍、反黑为白、毫不含糊。
Only in this way can we firmly abandon negative actions and adopt positive ones.

生起定解之后，我们对于黑业，乃至起心动念都应善加防护，努力做到身口意三门全不沾染罪业。
With a firm conviction, we should guard our mind against negative actions, and strive to keep our body, speech, and mind free from sins.
戒经云："护语及护意，身不作诸恶，此三业清净，当得大仙道。"
As stated in the Vinaya, "Guard your body, speech, and mind against  negative actions. If these three kinds of karma is pure, you can attain Buddhahood." 

而对于白业，我们应励力行持。应知十善业道是一切善法的基础。
On the other hand, we should practice positive actions diligently, and know that the ten positive actions are the foundation of all positive actions.
一切声闻、缘觉、菩萨果位的成就，一切增上生、决定胜的义利的产生，都必须以十善为因，不容缺少。
They are essential for the achievements of Shravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Bodhisattvas, as well as for a good rebirth and ultimate liberation.

十善业道就像大地一样，大地上的一切事物，都是以地为所依之处、处所。
The ten positive actions are like the earth, which is the foundation and dwelling place for everything on it.
修行也是这样，一切一切的修行乃至佛道，都是以十善业作为所依止之处。
In the same way, all the practices, even till Buddhahood, are based on the ten positive actions. 
所以，我们首先要去除自己十恶业的习气，好好地对治。
Therefore, we should first eliminate our habits of the ten negative actions, and apply antidotes to them diligently.
其实很清楚，我们要谨慎地防护口业。口业里面，我们特别要注意的就是妄语业、离间语、粗恶语、绮语。
We should cautiously protect ourselves against negative verbal karma, among which we should pay special attention to lying, sowing discord, harsh words, and worthless chatter.
我们要好好地忏悔我们中国人这种妄语的习气、离间语的习气，
We need to sincerely repent our habits of lying and sowing discord. 
说话跟事实有很大的距离。
Our words often deviate greatly from the reality. 

我们作为一个修行人，首先要去尊重每个生命，不管它的生命有多小，它也都是业力所感。
As practitioners, we should first respect every sentient being, no matter how small it is, as every sentient being is a result of karma. 
我们尽量地不去杀害生命，
We must strive to avoid killing.
佛门里就是这样，不管什么生命，它活着，我们尽量地不用恶心去杀害。
This is the way of Buddhism–no matter what kind of living being, as long as it is alive, we shouldn't kill it out of bad intentions.

你还是一个刚刚学佛的、还是一个心中充满了贪嗔痴邪见的人，一身毛病，一身习气，那你一定要好好地修学五戒和十善业，
As a beginner, you are full of afflictions and wrong views, and bound by faults and habitual tendencies. You should diligently study and practice the five precepts and ten positive actions. 
要好好地守这个戒，严格地守持，养成一种好习惯。主要是防范我们造业。
You should strictly keep the precepts and cultivate good habits, which mainly prevent us from creating negative karma.
