人類是他自己命運的締造者。每個行動都會產(chǎn)生一個相對應的結(jié)果哨坪。我們有權利選擇采取什么樣的行動当编,但是一旦行動過后徒溪,就沒有了對結(jié)果的選擇權。結(jié)果就是我們的命運牵舱,我們是創(chuàng)造命運的人缺虐。
舉例來說礁凡,我爬到樓頂往下跳,當我還在空中時剪芍,我的結(jié)局是什么窟蓝?摔到地上死去,這就是我的命運状共。一旦跳到空中,就無法改變自己的結(jié)局了峡继。但如果我不往下跳匈挖,就不會產(chǎn)生那樣的命運康愤。
如果我服毒了征冷,我的結(jié)局會怎么樣呢?死去资盅,我無法逃脫這種結(jié)局踊赠。但是如果我不服毒,便不會產(chǎn)生那樣的命運今穿。
如果我去到機場,登上一架開往倫敦的飛機蓝晒,起飛一小時后芝薇,我說“我不想去倫敦了作儿。”航班當局會告訴我什么晾嘶?“去倫敦是您的命運,因為您已經(jīng)在飛機上了垒迂《噬撸”不去倫敦行不通了。
一旦我們采取行動吏奸,就會得到一個結(jié)果乐导,那便是我們的命運。但是我們可以選擇采取哪些行動旺拉。如果我們做好事,結(jié)局就是好的蛾狗。如果我們做壞事,結(jié)局就是壞的谢鹊。
我們做出決定留凭、采取行動后,結(jié)局就是無法避免的兼耀。但我們有各種各樣的選擇去自我學習求冷,從而明白什么是生活中的最佳決定。這樣我們的命運就變成了最吉祥燦爛的拯坟。
此生與往世的活動影響著我們的命運。兩個人得了相同的疾病郁季,而且經(jīng)過同樣的治療巩踏,一人活下來了续搀,另外一人卻死去了菠净。業(yè)報法則、因果法則牵咙,把我們現(xiàn)在做的和過去做過的每個細節(jié)都考慮在內(nèi),那決定了我們的命運洁桌。
Man is the maker of his own destiny of fate. For every action there is an equal reaction. We have the choice of what action we perform, but after we perform it, we have no choice of the reaction. The reaction is our fate and we are the ones who created it.
For instance, if I go to the top of a building and jump, what is my fate while I am in the air? To hit the ground and die. That's my fate. I can't change my fate once I am in the air. But if I didn't jump at all, I would not have that fate.
If I take poison, what is my fate? To die. I can't escape from my fate. But if I didn't take the poison, I would not have that fate.
If I go to the airport and get on a flight to London and one hour after the flight takes off, I say, "I don't want to go to London." What will the flight authorities say to me? "It's your fate to go to London, because you are on the plane." There is no way what you can't go to London.
Once we perform an act, we get a reaction. That is our fate. But we have the choice to decide what acts to do. If we do good things, our fate will be good. If we do bad things, our fate will be bad.
Destiny is unavoidable after we make our move, after we make our decision. But we have the full spectrum of choice to educate ourselves and understand what is the best decision to make in life. Then our fate will be most auspicious and glorious.
Our past actions in this life and in previous lives influence our fate. Amongst two people who suffer the same disease and get the same medicine, one lives and the other dies. The law of karma, the law of action and reaction, takes into consideration every detail of what we have doing and what we have done, and that determines our destiny.
