Lesson 7: ADDITIONAL CAREER.

A. OPENING 

Ten good karma is the root of all worldly goodness and worldliness.

In the two "Causes" and "Reincarnations" we have learned, we have seen them clearly: Whatever we cause, we reap that result either in the present life, or in the present life. later generations. Small cause is small, big cause is large. 

If you want to be fruitful, you must sow you become a human. Human being is a professional who holds the five precepts (no killing, no stealing, no adultery, no lying and no drinking). With this cause, we have the fruit in the present that everyone from our extended family to the society, cherishes and cherishes. But if we want to go one step further, we try to cultivate the tenfold kusala. With the tenfold practice, we will enjoy a peaceful life in the present and the next life, we will be reborn to six heavenly realms, enjoying the pleasurable and peaceful scene. 

If we want to transcend the three realms of the world, in order to witness the Three Senses (Shravaka, Pratyekabuddha and Bodhisattva), we must cultivate the Four Noble Truths, the Twelve Lovely Causes and the Six Degrees. However, if you want to practice these monastics, you cannot ignore the 10-fold practice. The Ten Good Karma as an important step must be overcome, if you want to climb any more. It is like the basic base, the most solid infrastructure, to build the tall castle up. Therefore, it is said that the Good Ten is the root of all worldly and worldly dharmas. 

B. BACKGROUND 

I. DEFINITIONS 

"Ten good karma" is 10 good karma. 

What is "karma"? 

"Karma" is the Chinese word translated from the Sanskrit word Karma. It means creating, acting. Karma can be divided into three characteristics: good, evil, or not good or bad (no sign). Protestant, according to Buddhism, means having benefit for living beings now and in the future. Data, meaning harmful to sentient beings now and in the future. 

II. TEACHING STARTED TEN LIFE AND TICKET career 

Karma is many, cannot be told. But in the end, one can divide ten types of good karma and ten types of evil karma. These types of karma arise from the following three places: Body (work), Password (words), Italy (thoughts). 

1. Data karma: 

The bad karma is divided as follows: 

a) The karma of the Body is three:  Murder, theft, lust. 

b) The bad karma of Password has four:  lying, weaving, speaking two-dimensional tongue, speaking cruel words. 

c) The evil karma about Italy is three:  Greed, anger, delusion. 

Combining all body, speech and mind, there are ten negative karma. 

2. Good karma: 

If people do the opposite of the above 10 bad karma, there will be 10 good karma. The ten good karmas are divided as follows: 

a) About the Body, there are three:  No killing, no stealing, no commotion. 

b) About Khau had four:  No lie, no weaving, no two-dimensional tongue, no cruel words. 

c) In Italy there are three:  No greed, no anger, no delusion. 

III. MEANING AND VALUATION OF THE TEN Karma 

1. No killing 

There is no greater joy than joy from being killed. Nor is there any more favor than one that does no harm. 

When a bird is about to be plucked, a fish is about to be trimmed, stripped, and released, then imagine how great their joy is! Birds will dance, fly, and cry in the open sky; fish will struggle, swim, in the middle of deep water. The new clearly, escaped murder, who would not start excited? So, not killing, but being freed is the first wholesome career in the Ten Good Works. 

Not killing as well as not eating sentient beings will be free from the following two great crimes: 

a) Murder of the future Buddha.  Because Buddha said: "All beings are future Buddhas" 

b) Killing people for generations, misbehaving them for many lifetimes. 

In the Bodhisattva Sutra, it is said: "All six paths of sentient beings are our relatives, our parents have died and been reborn in many lifetimes". 

The person who does not kill everyday in the present life will expand his compassion, be a righteous person to cultivate into a Buddha, and receive ten good deeds, as the Sutta of the Good Tenfold Path says, below: 

a) All beings are cherished 

b) Compassion extends to all sentient beings  

c) Eradicate angry habits 

d) The body is usually healthy 

d) Long service life 

e) Often supported by angels 

ê) Sleep well and do not dream data 

g) Deduct all grudges 

h) Not falling into three evil ways 

i) After death, be born in heaven. 

2. No robbery 

Not stealing is not taking things that are not in your possession, and people don't give them to you. 

Private property is an important right. True, life is precious, but if there is life without sufficient material, clothing, houses, things necessary to provide the body, then the person cannot live. Therefore, everyone feels that they need to work hard to have enough assets to ensure their present and future life and their descendants. People value their life so. If for some reason, unrighteousness, one is deprived of property, then one suffers, sorrow as if one has lost part of its life. Money is the lifeblood, so when all the wealth is stolen, many people are disappointed and sad to give birth to illness, sometimes to suicidal. Thus, whoever is willing to steal for sure! 

Besides, according to righteousness, I don't want anyone to take mine, I don't take nobody's. Whatever you do not want people to suffer for you, then you must not make people suffer. Society exists only, when everyone respects fairness. 

Besides, of unrighteousness, often entering the front door to the back lane, dissipating quickly like spring water, flowing sand, finally, empty-handed also finished empty-handed, but the rest were despised by the people, spit on, bad Tigers for themselves and their descendants. 

On the contrary, people do not steal, always feel free to relax, not afraid of the law to search, no one will worry. A society without stealing, the house is not closed, no drop is lost, the scene of scorn does not take place, the society is peaceful and peaceful: 

If the space greedily steals, but makes almsgiving, according to the Cross of Goodness, the good deeds are as follows: 

a) Abundant money is not robbed by the enemy, the government confiscates it, does not get flooded, blazes and children dispersed. 

b) Trusted by many people 

c) Do not be deceived or deceived. 

d) Far and near both praise our righteousness  

d) The heart is safe, not afraid of harm 

e) When he died then was born to heaven 

3. No sexual misconduct 

Lust is the cause of birth and death. It is the obstacle that hinders the path of liberation and liberation. Therefore, the monk wants to see results, enlightenment, must eradicate lust in the body as well as in the mind. The Sutta Pitaka says: 

" Lust is not deducted, then can not get out of the ceiling ." 

Also at home, Buddha only prevented adultery, meaning married couples formally allowed to live in accommodation, but must be moderate, not solicitous, adultery. 

In the family, if the husband does not commit adultery, the wife does not wandering, the life is warm and peaceful. Therefore, the family is happy, the business is prosperous, the career is sustainable, the people are happy, the two families are fragrant, the neighbors are satisfied, the village is precious.

Lying for fear, terror, should be avoided, because it makes us accustomed to hiding sin, and refusing to correct it. 

Lie to profit or brag, even more serious crime. Merchants lie very easily; and especially those who study, if they lie that they have witnessed the fruit, or attain enlightenment, so that those who respect and worship them, they will be guilty of great language and fall into three evil ways. 

Lying, only in the case to save suffering for people and things, is not guilty.

For every ten bad karma, every day you keep developing good karma, you will get the following four benefits: 

1. Reform the body and mind 

The body and mind of the human being are often dominated by karma. The practice of the ten good karmas, which will transform one's body and mind into goodness. For example, if not killing but releasing, then the wicked heart will be changed to compassion, the hatred will turn into favor. 

2. Improving circumstances 

Situations as well as a great mirror reflect all the gestures of action, the life of each person.If one laughs, the mirror laughs back; If we cry, the mirror will cry again. Also, if we do good deeds, help fellow beings, save sentient beings, then the situation for us will become a beautiful realm. For example, when we are not angry and cultivate patience, the situation has no struggle to kill, but only solidarity.
