尊貴的上師，
Ven. Guru:
有的人說，信佛人都會有較多的障礙。
Some people say, people believing in
Buddhism will have more obstacles.
A: It depends; only people who are adding karmas while doing some practices
will be like this.
答：这要看情况；只有在修行时还继续造业的人们才会这样。
因為學佛是為了成佛，於是就得受報來消業。
Since learning Buddhism aims at becoming a
Buddha, so one need to receive karmic consequences in order to eliminate karma.
A: 重報輕受 (heavy karma yielding light punishment), it means the karmic consequence is not due to practice of Dharma, but
it is only so light because of Dharma practices.
Whoever has karma will receive
karmic consequences in time. People who talk like this are people who does not
know how to think reasonably.
答：重报轻受，这意味着业报并非修行佛法所带来的结果，但它会因为修行佛法而变得那么轻。任何人有业都将会承受业果。那些如此谈论的人并不知道该怎么样去理性地思考。
而越發大心的人，業報會更重，也因為不只是自己欲成佛，也勸導別人學佛。
And yet people who have more bodhicitta will
have heavier karmic consequences, and this is because it is not only they themselves
want to become a Buddha, they also persuade others to learn Buddhism.
A: Wrong. People with Bodhicitta will be blessed by Buddhas and protectors,
and hence their karmic consequences will only become lighter.
But it is possible that
Bodhisattvas want to carry other beings' karmic consequences so that others can
move forward on the enlightenment path.
答：这是不对的。有菩提心的人就会受到佛、菩萨和护法的庇佑，因此他们的业报将会转轻。但是有一种可能，那就是菩萨自愿替众生挑负业果，以便众生在菩提道上进展。
雖然說業報較多是自己前世或今世的。不是佛加注我等學佛人身上的。因此，發心教導及勸人修行，也會加速自己的業報，為己消業？不知對否？
Although karmic retributions are mostly due
to one's past or present life (activities), it isn't something that the Buddha
imposed on us. Therefore, people who aspire to teach and guide others in Dharma
and to convert others to Dharma will accelerate their own karmic retributions
to eliminate personal karma for themselves; is it right?
A: The occurrences of karmic consequences have their causal conditions; it
is not true that the consequences had been speeded up to arrive, but it is
possible that other causal conditions that one has added have triggered the
occurrences.
业报的发生有其因果条件；这并不是说业报会加速到来，但可能因为其他的新增因果条件，而引致业报的发生。
