人在面對解決不了的事，特別是痛苦的感受，總想找一個理由安撫自己，這許多理由，讓佛教業障說發揮到極點。
When people are faced with issues that they cannot resolve, especially those that involved pain and suffering, they are only willing to find reasons to comfort themselves. These approaches cause Buddhism's discussions of bad-karma to develop to the limit.
換個角度來看障的利與弊，大部分的人都很熟悉從挫折中成長這句話，那佛教徒為什麼這麼怕做錯事，怕被懲罰，怕招來惡果，這些都是可理解也是人之常情，然而人生下來沒做過錯的事，怎會知道什麼事是對的? 就算父母的教育非常出色，但總有自己得親自摸索的時候，懲罰性的觀念太強，是不敢碰觸任何事的。(這是弊)
Let us change an angle to look the the pro and con of bad karma. Many people understand that people should learn and grow from their mistakes. If that is the case, why are Buddhists so afraid of making mistakes? Because they don't want to be punished and accumulate bad karma. This is only human nature. But if you don't make mistakes, how would you know what is the right thing to do? Even if your parents taught you well, there will always comes a time when you need to grope about in the world on your own. If your fear of punishment is too strong, you will be afraid to touch and do anythings. (This is con.)
但是有業障觀念的人，做事情的時候會想到造福的問題，因為不想要有障礙纏身，會盡其所能的幫助別人，盡其所能的不傷害別人，來成就自己的福報 。( 這是利)
But the idea of karma will allow people to think about the issues of good and bad karma. Because they don't want to have bad karma wrap around them, they will do all they can to help others and avoid hurting others in order to accumulate good karma. (This is pro.)
無論如何! 在這裡討論很多想法，是想激發更多更好的人生路，讓許多善良的人有更美好的明天，想回頭者有重生的修法，千萬不要在窄巷裡逃避，修行是要讓自己走更寬的路，哪怕只是有佛法慨念而已!
Regardless, we have discussed many ideas here hoping to stimulate more and better ways of life for good people. So that they can have a better tomorrow. For people who sincerely want to repent to have a method to move forward, and not just avoiding the issues in an alley way. Buddhist Practice is to allow yourself to walk a wider path, not just to learn about Buddhism.
業必須論述這麼多，是佛法本身談論、因、緣、果的引發，那裡面講的都是行動與果實的問題。還有業障是一時的不方便，絕不是不能走出來的罪，這才是最重要的觀點。
I discussed this topic at this length is because deeds are extensions of Dharma's discussion on Yin, Yuan and Karmic Results. This is all about actions, behaviors and the results of these actions. Finally, the most important point to know about "bad karma" is that "bad karma" is only a temporary inconvenience, not sins that you can never escape.

很認真的把業的學理看過
雖然表面上似乎都能理解 去不曉得如何實踐！
但只能找到微薄的點：就是 業是人造成的，想改變由行動做起，唯有行動力能挽救自己。
但其實還是不能掌握，所謂的行動是什麼？
是思考的改變？要改變什麼？
亦或是我該怎麼做？
匿名者 ˙業由行動造成，人去行動前大部分會先想過再付岀行動，一個有點熟悉這個循環的人，應該會想從自己的想法或者常岀現的自己行為去看到自己。看到自己就知道很多的業力為什麼可以這麼相纏，
這只是一個開端，佛學講輪迴性質的因緣果，輪迴也是重複行為的意思，所以沒有解決或改變的行為，看似可以不接受結果，其實當事者應該自己明白，動彈不得。
不知道怎麼用是沒有用過，我們習慣向外對待，轉彎向自己很難，像跟學生說，你要改掉壞習慣，能改的人也很注意自己的行為才是。不能明白再討論，但先學改造自己也很重要。半寄上
匿名者: 舉個例子 ，我很懦弱當然怕事，所以有事的時候習慣逃避，現在下決心面對懦弱的點，只要它在出現就極力要求自己，不准逃避，一次次的做這件事，久了會累積功力，進而達到改進自己的目的，修行要的不就是這個結果嗎 ? 我能接受的修行是自己看得見的成長軌道，不只是理念而已!? 半寄
再有大部份人只知道善與惡， 處於中間灰色地區的人性都被忽略， 想想一個懦弱的行為就可衍生都少黑暗 ? 用聰明的大腦想想像! 半寄

I had studied the articles on 'A Discourse on Deeds.' Even thought I understand the content, I am not sure how to realize it! I understand that people created 'deeds', so if we want to change, we must act. Only action can save ourselves.
But I am still not sure what kind of actions are needed. Is it a change in the way I think? What do I need to change? What should I do?
Master Ban Ji Answered:
'Deeds' are created by actions. People usually think first before they act. A person who understand this will want to observe himself from his own thoughts, behaviors and habits. If you can observe yourself truly, you will see how karma and deeds are so intertwined.
But this is only the beginning. Buddhism talked about the samsara of karma. Samsara implies repeated actions. If a behavior is not changed, you will not be able to make progress. If you don't know how to do something, it means that you never tried it. We are used to look at the outside, it is harder to look at ourselves. Just like telling a student that he needs to change his bad habits. A person who can change himself will be able to pay attention to his own behavior.
It can not be any clearer, but learning to change yourself is also very important.

For example, I am weak so I fear conflicts. So whenever there is an issue, I run away. If I made a decision to face my 'fear', I will force myself to not run away whenever it surfaced. If I do this repeatedly, I'll eventually be able to progress and change. Isn't this the result of Practice that we all want?
The Practice that I can accept is the progress that I can see, not just theory.

Also, most people only think about this in term of virtue and evil. The human natures that are in the gray area are usually ignored. But you should be able to imagine the darkness that are the results of 'fear'. Think about it.
