Shaking with fear or not? (Yes!) Yes, huh? In the heart, huh? Feel shaky, huh? (Yes!) Yeah, who wouldn’t? Even many, many eons passed, many lifetimes passed already, just one time, killed one baby, became Arhat already, all repentant, remorseful, suffered so much already, still had to bear that consequence. Nothing we can escape, free. Therefore really, karma really exists, even (if you) become Arhat. Some karma will be destroyed, but some will remain, so that you can continue to live on. For example, we make many bad things. We did many sins, in many, many, many, many uncountable lifetimes. In this lifetime, we come back to be reborn as human, suffering some. But some are still in store waiting, because in one lifetime, you cannot suffer much more than like the nun has done, you see? There is a time span for everything. So in one lifetime, it’s short, so you will be allotted how much, how much karma for one lifetime. Then suppose you come back again, then the next stored karma will come for you. Without karma, you cannot exist here. You’re probably in Heaven, or in hell, somewhere else. It’s different karma then.
Therefore the nun, luckily she came and took refuge in the Buddha, and she became Arhat. And at the time that the Buddha accepted her and initiated her, He would destroy all the stored karma. So that she will not be born again to suffer any. But even then the fixed karma for this lifetime, (that) she has to bear even after she became Arhat already, because that’s her fixed karma. Without this karma, she cannot live here. All of us, same. OK? Except the Master, who has to borrow karma from everybody. Not borrow, but have to bear everybody else’s bad karma. Therefore the Master will not suffer any karma, because it’s all done. The Buddha already had no more karma. But He still had to suffer here and there, because of the bad karma of disciples. Yeah, all right.
