What are the types of seeds that affect caste? What affects our caste? Why was he born with the human and celestial nature, the two-vehicle nature, and the Bodhisattva nature? What's the reason for it? How did the process come about? Let’s look at the types of seeds.

First of all, we divide the seeds of alaya consciousness into two categories: one is the seed with leakage, and the other is the seed without leakage. Let’s read the leaky seeds again.

1. The seeds of famous sayings are the seeds of various karma and karma that are inspired by famous sayings and can lead to the self-resultation of all good and evil dharma.

2. Karmic seeds refer to seeds formed by good and evil deeds. The sixth consciousness corresponds to thoughts and thoughts, and relies on the body, speech, and mind to create good and evil karma. It is smeared by thoughts and planted in Alaya consciousness, which is called the seed of karma.

OK! Before we learn Buddhism and start planning and creating the future, we must first look at what our past has left us. We must face some leaky seeds.

This "leak" has two meanings: the first is a fault, and the second is an obstacle. In other words, this "outflow" is the good karma and bad karma created by the self-centeredness. These are all outflows.

"There are outflows". On the earth, there are faults such as greed, hatred, and delusion. Because you rely on "self" to create karma, you are likely to be in opposition to all sentient beings: If sentient beings satisfy you, you You become greedy; if you are dissatisfied, you become angry, etc. There are all kinds of troubles that will follow your good karma, that is, troubles are mixed with your good karma. This is called "leakage". It is faulty due to the fault of the earth, and it is a faulty good karma.

In terms of results, it creates obstacles. This "outflow" is the leakage into the cycle of life and death. Your karma can only get one result in reincarnation. Although this retribution makes you happy, it is not free due to the obstacles of aging, sickness, and death.

These leaky seeds are divided into two categories:

The first one, the seeds of famous sayings, come from the habit of famous sayings. Famous sayings are thoughts, the seeds of karma that can give rise to all good and evil thoughts and their consequences. There are two situations of famous saying seeds: the first is through learning. You may have become a kind of thought through what your teachers and Taoist fellow practitioners say to you, and it comes through learning. Second, through your life experience. You may have been hurt by others when you were a child, so you have a relatively pessimistic way of thinking about the truth of suffering. Your life experience will also give you certain seeds of famous quotes. That is to say, life experience and learning will affect us to form a kind of famous saying seed. This is your thinking mode.

The second one is the karma seed, which is a kind of karma seed influenced by the good and evil deeds done in the past. It is the thought and mind corresponding to the sixth consciousness... (this thought and mind They are wishes and pleasures. We know that karma must be done with pleasure. If there is no pleasure, then it is an unintentional mistake, and it cannot constitute karma. Desires may be good or evil. ) Relying on the three karma of the body, speech and mind, creating good and evil karma, and cultivating the seeds of this kind of thoughts and thoughts are in the alaya consciousness, and they are called karma seeds.

Each of us creates a karma, and the eighth consciousness will produce famous saying seeds and karma seeds at the same time. For example, give alms. After you finish the act of giving, your famous saying seeds - you want to give more, and you strengthen your thoughts of giving. This is the famous saying seed. Second, your act of giving will give you the fruits of wealth and honor in your next life, which is called the seed of your work. Therefore, every action you take will achieve two seeds: one is a certain increase in your thoughts; the second is a certain increase in your good and evil karma. However, since both of these arise based on self-consciousness, they both have leaks. Because you did not practice emptiness and did not arouse bodhicitta when you were doing it, you will think, "I am here to create this good deed, and I will be the one to obtain the happiness and retribution in the future." If you think this way, this behavior is defective. . In short, all actions of body, speech and mind driven by self-awareness have leaks.
