慈悲，因果 交替。
Compassion, Karma interperse.
Our human mind is predominantly preoccupied by 3 States:-
1. Wholesome positive thoughts
2. Unwholesome negative thoughts
3. Neutral thoughts
During Mindfulness, when our mind is at ease, our heart is fill with Compassion - that will energise us - to engage in wholesome positive thoughts, speeches and actions.
During Mindfulness, when our mind is disturbed by our 5 inherent defilements :- Greed, Hatred/ Anger, Ignorance, Arrogance and Distrust - we will develop unwholesome negative thoughts, speeches and actions - to seek equilibrium, fairness and correction to appease our mind.
When such negative emotion arises - we should focus our mind on the effect and consequences of Karma - to prevent us from indulging and manifesting into unwholesome negative thoughts, speeches or actions that will harm self and others.
This is a carrot and stick approach.
Compassion for wholesome positive thoughts. (A reward system - if we do good).
Karma reminder for unwholesome negative thoughts. (A punishment system - if we do bad stuff. Hence we will not act through ill intent with impunity.)
This discourse is a layman explanation to fulfill the following 神秀 discourse on Mindfulness way of life - 时时勤拂拭，莫使惹尘埃。
(Mindfulness on every thoughts, speeches and actions - to correct our minds, promote positivity and eradicate negativity.
If we succeeded, Enlightenment one day can be attained.)
神秀大师著名的四句偈语是：
“身是菩提树，心如明镜台，时时勤拂拭，莫使惹尘埃”。

Google translation:-
慈悲与因果交替显现。
人类的心智主要处于以下三种状态之一：
1. 善性的积极念头
2. 不善的消极念头
3. 中性念头
在正念状态下，当内心安宁时，心中充满慈悲——这能赋予我们力量，去生起善念、说善语、行善行。
在正念状态下，若内心受到五种与生俱来的烦恼（贪、嗔/怒、痴、慢、疑）干扰，我们便会生起不善的消极念头、言语和行为，试图寻求平衡、公平或纠正，以安抚内心。
当此类消极情绪升起时，我们应将心念转向因果法则及其后果——以此防止自己沉溺其中，避免演变成伤害自他的不善念头、言语或行为。
这是一种“胡萝卜加大棒”式的引导策略。
以慈悲心引导善性的积极念头。
以因果警示应对不善的消极念头。
这番论述是对神秀大师关于正念生活方式之偈语的通俗解读——“时时勤拂拭，莫使惹尘埃”。
（在每一个念头、言语和行为中保持正念——以此修正心智、弘扬积极、消除消极。
若能持之以恒，终有一天可证悟觉醒。）
