Negative Karma; 罪障, 業障;
The sufferings we experience in this life are all the result of negative karma accumulated in past lives. Negative karma can also obstruct practitioners from attaining realizations at various stages of the path. Therefore, the primary task in spiritual practice is to purify negative karma.
To purify negative karma through practice, a practitioner must fully cultivate the “four powers” (reliance power, antidote power, removal power, and protective power) to achieve success.
吾人此生所承受的種種痛苦，皆由於過去世所造作的惡業所感召；惡業亦能障礙行者無法證得各種道次第之證量，因此，修行之首要課題，即為淨除罪障。
行者欲藉由修持而淨除罪障，須具足四力（依止力、對治力、拔除力、防護力）方能成辦。
