禪修不是袪除業--雷瓦達尊者開示摘要

無論我們累積了那些業，無論這些業是善或惡 ; 過後，業便滅去，[而]業力將持續。所以無論積累的是善業還是惡業，業力都將留存[於五蘊]。這是［業的］法則。

Whatever kamma we accumulate, whether it is good or bad, after we have accumulated, it perishes and leaves the kammic force behind. So whether good or bad kamma after it is accumulated, the kammic force has been left behind [in the five aggregates]. This is the law [of kamma].

禪修練習並不是為了袪除業，而是為了袪除不淨雜染。當雜染被袪除了，所積累的業將無法產生果報 ; 更者，惡業將無法致使投生四惡趣的果報。[禪修練習]不是為了使業清淨，而是為了袪除雜染，特別是袪除各人的觀點 – 有身見(sakkhāya-ditthi)。

Practicing meditation is not to remove kamma, but to remove defilements. After removing defilements, the accumulated kamma cannot give its result; especially the unwholesome kamma cannot give its result [of rebirths] in the four awful states. [Practicing meditation is] not to cleanse the kamma, but to remove the defilement, especially only when we can remove the personal view, sakkhāya-ditthi.
