So if we apply this teaching of Buddha to ourselves, we can conclude that we can all create a new "I." This new "I" can be whatever we want, within the laws of nature and within our power.
因此，運用這個道理，我們的結論是，每個人都能創造一個新的「我」。
這個新的「我」可以是任何「我」，在自然界的規律和自身能力之內所創造出來的。
The "I" ("I-Now") at this moment is the result of many many Yin (Causes) and Yuan (Conditions) from the past.
現在這一刻的「我」(「現在的我」) 是很多因緣所成的。
"I-Now" is also the Yin (Conditions) for the "I" in the next moment, "I-Next".
「現在的我」也是下一 刻的「我」(「下一個我」) 的因。
As we learn in the previous article, there are many potential "I-Next." If I have enough wisdom, then I'll be able to know the different "I-Next" that I can choose from, and pick the one that I want by choosing and fulfilling the appropriate Yuan. This was illustrated in my previous articles (First Change and Second Change).
從前一篇文章中，我們知道有很多不一樣的「下一個我」可以產生。
如果我有足夠的智慧，那便能完成緣的條件去選擇「下一個我」。這個過程可以從第一個改變跟第二次改變看到。
The more "power" that you have, the more Yuan you can choose from. If you have no "power", then you live day to day according to your habits, and you will not improve because time is a merciless Yuan. Because we grow old and weak and die with the passage of time and that's the way things are.
Also, if you do not or can not choose, then some other factors might choose for you, and their choices might not have your benefits in mind.
您的選擇是根據您的「能力」。如果沒有「能力」，那麼會根據您的習性而生活。您的狀況不會改善，因為時間是一個很無情的「緣」，畢竟我們都會跟隨時間的進行而老、虛弱或死。
此外，如果您沒有「能力」或不想選擇，那麼其他一些因素可能會替您選擇，而他們的選擇不一定會考慮到您的利益。
To improve, you have to have options, and you have to know that you can be changed for the better. You have to empirically understand that "I-Next" doesn't have to be the same as "I-Now", and you have to empirically understand that you can change the Yuan between the "I-Now" and the "I-Next."
要提升自己的高度，您得有所選擇，也必須知道您能變得更好。您必須體會「下一個我」不必像「現在的我」一樣，也必須瞭解您能改變「下一個我」跟「現在的我」的「緣」。
To empirically understand that "I-Next" doesn't have to be the same as "I-Now" and is changeable is to empirically understand anattā , and this comes from practicing the Light Side discussed earlier. "Power" for change also comes from the same place.
若體會了「無我」，就能瞭解：您也能夠改變「下一個我」，這是從光明面而來的。改變「緣」的「能力」也是一樣。

我試著用科學家的宇宙觀來詮釋因緣果。21世紀有科學決定論與多重宇宙的想法：只要給定某個時刻宇宙的狀態（因的確立），我們宇宙的法則（緣）便會決定系統的演進，便可推算出宇宙日後發展的結果（果）。（參考霍金一大設計一書）。不同宇宙有不同的法則（緣是可努力可改變的），若法則固定（習性不變），宇宙演進的結果必可確定（習性的果）。
謝謝電蚊燈那麼用心的寫這篇回應 !
半寄上
再補充一點，近代宇宙學與統一場論的研究觀察證實：宇宙的開始與演進，並不需要上帝來啟動，連惡魔也沒有插手的餘地。（對於身在英國的科學家-霍金而言，提出這個觀點是不是很令人敬佩！）科學家已告訴我們大尺度的宇宙行為，做為宇宙的一份子，就如半寄師父與版主元所闡述的，自己設定的因，自己催動的緣，自己熟成的果！不是老天爺，也沒有上帝來獎賞惩罰你。
I'll try to translate:
First: 電蚊燈 said he will try to use scientists' view of universe to explain Karma. He said that 21st century has the idea of scientific determinism and multiple universe. If we are given a specific universe at a given time (Yin), the law of physic (Yuan) will dictate the evolution of the universe, and we can calculate the result (Result) (Consult Hawking's The Grand Design. Different universe has different laws (Yuan is changeable), but if the law is the same (habit does not change), the result of the universe's evolution can be determined (Result of habits.)
Then, 電蚊燈 said that he would like to add a point. Recent researches in cosmology and unified field theory proved that the beginning and the evolution of the universe does not need a God, it doesn't even need a devil. Scientists already told us that behavior of the universe, at least the big picture. As part of the universe, we created our own Yin, we pushed our own Yuan and obtain our own results. God will not reward nor punish you.
請問空法也在因緣果裡嗎?還是因緣果在空法裡?
ㄚ頭: 中觀家認為存在是不可能成立的 ，比方{ 因}是:我活著 ，假設活著可以存在，就不需要緣，也就是活著的基礎條件，就因需要緣的成立才能活 ，所以不認為存在可成立， 因為是緣在支撐 ，緣一消失 ，{果} 活著的肉體立刻沒有，中觀論認為緣是變動的，可以被變動的條件是{空}當背景，空是不固定存在的另一個解釋，所以因緣果的成立是溶合空的結果。
沒有空第一個條件{因}就已無法成立。這是一個大論點，先這樣解釋，不能清楚再討論。

丫頭 asked is Śūnyatā part of Karma, or is Karma part of Śūnyatā ?
Master Ban Ji answered:
Mūlamadhyamakakārikā thinks "existence" cannot be established. For example, if Yin (Cause) is I am alive. If we assume living can "exist", then it doesn't need Yuan (Conditions). In other words, the basic requirements for been alive need the establishment of Yuan (Conditions). Because been alive needs the support of Yuan (Conditions), once Yuan vanishes, Result, which is the body will cease to exist. So we don't think "existence" can be established. Mūlamadhyamakakārikā thinks Yuan (Condition) is changeable. The reason it is changeable is because of Śūnyatā. Śūnyatā is another explanation of non-permanent existence. So Karma is the result of fusing Śūnyatā. If there is no Śūnyatā , then Yin (Cause) cannot be established. This is a big argument. If this is not clear, we can discuss further.
Humbly presenting another way to answer:
You can think of Śūnyatā as a theory and Karma as an application. Śūnyatā is like cosmology that scientists that thinks about, and the Karma is what the engineers at Apple uses to design iPads.
謙虛地提出另一種說法：
空是理論，因緣果是應用。 空像是科學家在探討的宇宙學，因緣果是蘋果公司的工程師用來設計iPad 的知識。
Master Ban Ji said
"所以因緣果的成立是溶合空的結果"
應該是
"所以因緣果的成立是融合空的結果"
Fixed Chinese Typo. It doesn't change my translation.
疑？空不就是一切的可能性嗎？沒有固定不變的自我特性稱為空。＜因＞是一切的可能，＜緣＞也是一切的可能，在所有的可能中做了抉擇，就產生果，所以，＜果＞，是從一切的可能中産生，那麼，＜果＞,也是一切的可能！因此，因緣果可説是空法的表現，繞圈圈的因緣果就是空法要表達的。卑微地提供拙見，請小聲笑。
電蚊燈說的只對一小部份， 空法的理論架構， 還需要很多說法才能完備!有機會再寫。
Yeah~~,終於講對一小部份，拿到一片拼圖卡，期待師父的說法。

電蚊燈 said Huh? Doesn't Śūnyatā mean everything is possible? Don't we call the characteristic of all things is changing at all time Śūnyatā ? Yin (Cause) is that everything is possible. Yuan (Condition) also means that everything is possible. If you choose a possibility, than Result will occur. Therefore, Result is products from all the possibilities. Then it means that Result is everything is possible as well.Therefore, Karma can be said as the manifestation of Śūnyatā , and repetition of Yin, Yuan and Result is what Śūnyatā is trying to show. Humbly presenting my opinion.
Master Ban Ji said:
Only partially right. there is more to Śūnyatā's theory and framework. I will write more about it given a chance later.
