狮吼音·开示集：去控制“业力”

　　法王感觉到目前有很多的人都是佛教徒，大部分的佛教徒在谈论到“业力”时似乎都会把“业力”当成一样无法改变的事情。无论如何，我们应该知道百分之七、八十的“业”乃确是我们自身造作的，剩下的一小部分则不在我们的控制之内，例如：时间的流逝。同时也包括了一些情况是：业力已经成熟、超过了可以改变它的那个时点，法王举例说到，就如同是登上了即将起飞的飞机。在那个时候一个人若想改变想法不开始飞行已经太迟迟了。然而在买机票、去飞机场、过安检等等一系列过程中，我们仍是有很多选择的自由的。“业力”在造作的过程中，仍有着很大的弹性，因此若我们在特定时间内尽我们之所能去完成一些事情，我们肯定是可以去控制“业力”的。

　　His Holiness felt that most people present were Buddhist. Many Buddhists talk about 'karma' as if karma is somehow unchangeable. However we should realize that 70-80% of karma is actually what we create. The remaining lesser percentage involve things and events that are not in our control, such as the passing of time. There also include some cases where karma has ripened beyond the point where it can be changed. His Holiness gave the example of a person on board a aeroplane ready for take-off. At that point, it might be too late for that person to change his or her mind about flying, but there was a lot of freedom of choice within the process of buying the ticket, getting to the airport, passing through the security checks and the like. Karma is a creative process and has a lot of flexibility, so we certainly do have some control over what we can accomplish within a certain period of time.
