Chapter 17. Investigation of Actions and Fruits

(Acts)

________________________________

།བདག་ཉིད་ལེགས་པར་སྡོམ་པ་དང།

།གཞན་ལ་ཕན་འདོགས་བྱམས་སེམས་གང།

།དེ་ཆོས་དེ་ནི་འདི་གཞན་དུ།

།འབྲས་བུ་དག་གི་ས་བོན་ཡིན།།

1. /bdag nyid legs par sdom pa dang/
/gzhan la phan 'dogs byams sems gang/
/de chos de ni 'di gzhan du/
/'bras bu dag gi sa bon yin//

1. Restraining oneself well and loving thoughts that benefit others are the Dharma which is the seed of fruits here and elsewhere.

________________________________

།དྲང་སྲོང་མཆོག་གི་ལས་རྣམས་ནི།

།སེམས་པ་དང་ནི་བསམས་པར་གསུངས།

།ལས་དེ་དག་གི་བྱེ་བྲག་ནི།

།རྣམ་པ་དུ་མར་ཡོངས་སུ་བསྒྲགས

2. /drang srong mchog gi las rnams ni/
/sems pa dang ni bsams par gsungs/
/las de dag gi bye brag ni/
/rnam pa du ma yongs su bsgrags//

2. The great sage has taught all actions to be intention and what is intended. The specifics of those actions are well known to be of many kinds.

________________________________

།དེ་ལ་ལས་གང་སེམས་པ་ཞེས།

།གསུངས་པ་དེ་ནི་ཡིད་གྱིར་འདོད།

།བསམས་པ་ཞེས་ནི་གང་གསུངས་པ།

།དེ་ནི་ལུས་དང་ངག་གིར་འདོད

3. /de la las gang sems pa zhes/
/gsungs pa de ni yid gyir 'dod/
/bsams pa zhes ni gang gsungs pa/
/de ni lus dang ngag gir 'dod//

3. In this respect action spoken of as "intention" is regarded as being that of mind. That spoken of as "what is intended" is regarded as being that of body and speech.

5. (5) Goodness that arises from enjoyment / use and in the same manner (6) what is not goodness, [and] (7) intention. These seven dharmas are clearly regarded as action.

[This seven-fold division of acts is not traceable to any school of which I am aware. The simpler division into restraint and love found in v. 1 serves a similar purpose to vs. 4 & 5 and has the added advantage of leading into v. 6 through its mention of "fruits".]

6. If the action remained until the time of ripening, it would become permanent. If it stopped, by having stopped, how could a fruit be born?

13. I will fully declare the investigation which is taught by the Buddhas, Pratyekabuddhas and Sravakas, which is valid here.

[The explicit denunciation of v. 12 and the strident certainty of v. 13 are an uncharacteristically heavy-handed and wordy way of telling us that the "right" view is about to be given. Yet the text presents all voices with sympathy, suggesting a developmental account of ethics in Buddhism rather than a "we're right - you're wrong" version.]

/mi za las ni bu lon bzhin/
/de ni khams las rnam pa bzhi/
/de yang rang bzhin lung ma bstan//

14. Just like a contract, irrevocable action is like a debt. In terms of realms, there are four types. Moreover, its nature is unspecified.

[nb. "nature" = Skt. prakrti (also 'prakriti') (def.: making or placing before or at first, the original or natural form or condition of anything , original or primary substance) and is equivalent to the Tib. rang bzhin. ]

15. It is not let go of by letting go, but only let go of by cultivation. Therefore through irrevocability are the fruits of acts produced.

17. The very [irrevocability] of all actions in similar or dissimilar realms, that one alone is born when crossing the boundary [i.e. reborn].

21. Because actions are not born, in this way they have no nature. Therefore, because they are not born, therefore they are irrevocable.

26. This action has the character of affliction and afflictions are not real. If affliction is not real, how can action be real?

28. /ma rig bsgrib pa'i skye bo gang/
/sred ldan de ni za ba po/
/de yang byed las gzhan min zhing/

/rkyen las byung ba ma yin zhing/

29. Because the action does not emerge from conditions and does not emerge from non-conditions, therefore, the agent too does not exist.
