法王感覺到目前有很多的人都是佛教徒，大部分的佛教徒在談論到“業力”時似乎都會把“業力”當成一樣無法改變的事情。無論如何，我們應該知道百分之七、八十的“業”乃確是我們自身造作的，剩下的一小部分則不在我們的控製之內，例如：時間的流逝。同時也包括了一些情況是：業力已經成熟、超過了可以改變它的那個時點，法王舉例說到，就如同是登上了即將起飛的飛機。在那個時候一個人若想改變想法不開始飛行已經太遲遲了。然而在買機票、去飛機場、過安檢等等一系列過程中，我們仍是有很多選擇的自由的。“業力”在造作的過程中，仍有著很大的彈性，因此若我們在特定時間內盡我們之所能去完成一些事情，我們肯定是可以去控製“業力”的。

　　His Holiness felt that most people present were Buddhist. Many Buddhists talk about ”karma” as if karma is somehow unchangeable. However we should realize that 70-80% of karma is actually what we create. The remaining lesser percentage involve things and events that are not in our control, such as the passing of time. There also include some cases where karma has ripened beyond the point where it can be changed. His Holiness gave the example of a person on board a aeroplane ready for take-off. At that point, it might be too late for that person to change his or her mind about flying, but there was a lot of freedom of choice within the process of buying the ticket, getting to the airport, passing through the security checks and the like. Karma is a creative process and has a lot of flexibility, so we certainly do have some control over what we can accomplish within a certain period of time.
