众生的别业妄见和共业妄见
False Views Associated with the Inpidual and Collective Karma of Beings
因为有毛病了，才有虚妄生出来。
It”s only when we have faults that such illusions arise.
在《楞严经》里，有一段文是讨论二种颠倒妄见的。什么是二种颠倒妄见呢？
A passage in the Shurangama Sutra discusses two kinds of deluded false views. What are these views
第一是「众生别业妄见」。别业就是和其他人不同的，也可以说是「别分的妄见」。别业，就是单单自己的业，也可以说是「自业」。就是特别的，与众不同的，这就是别业。
The first one is "false alse views associated with the inpidual karma of beings." Inpidual karma refers to one”s own karma, which differs from the karma of others. This is also called "inpidually held false views." One”s own karma is special and different from that of everyone else.
这种「别业妄见」，就是自己见解也特别、行为也特别，所以自己造的罪业也特别。这种别业妄见的人，就是好标异现奇，总觉得他自己与众不同，好像一般的众生在任何场合里边，都想要做第一，这和其他的业就不同了。
Inpidual karma also refers to each person having his own special outlook and behavior and thus creating his own particular offenses. Because of our false view associated with inpidual karma, we tend to act special and feel we are different from other people. For example, most beings will compete to be first in any situation. That makes their karma different from other people”s.
标异现奇，这也是一种妄见，他妄行、妄做、妄为，造出这种的业，也就与众不同，这都是一种妄想心所造成的。这个妄想，就是好高骛远的心。因为他好高骛远的关系，又标异现奇，独出己见，所以就造成一种别业，与众不同了。
Their attempt to act special and different is also a kind of false view. With false conduct, false actions, and false behavior, one creates karma that is unique, and so one”s karma differs from that of others. All of this results from false thoughts. These false thoughts come from a mind that aims high but neglects the foundation. As a result of aiming too high, trying to act special, and having unique views, one creates karma which differs from that of other people.
第二是「众生同分妄见」。同分，就是和一般人相同的，又可以叫「共业」。譬如天灾人祸、天塌地陷，这一个地方一死就几十万、几百万，甚至于几千万的人一起都死了，这是共业，这就叫「同分妄见」，由这种妄想造成这种的同业。
The second one is "commonly held false views of beings." "Commonly held" means that it is shared by most other people. It is also called collective karma. An example is natural disasters and man-made calamities, in which "the sky falls down and the earth splits open," and hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of people die together. That is collective karma arising from commonly held false views; it is shared karma resulting from those kinds of false thoughts.
因为众生迷物为己、认贼作子，迷这个物，以为是自己，所以就造成同分妄见，这是由妄想所造成的这种妄见。这个「见」字，不一定是看见的见，而是见解的见，大家意见相同，这就是同分妄见。由众生的妄想造成这种的妄业，于是乎就受妄报，所谓「起惑、造业、受报。」最初就因为不明白，所以就造了业；造了业，就要受报，这是众生的共业。譬如荒旱，这地方的人都没有饭吃了，这是这一个地方众生共业所感。我来讲一个「共业所感」的实例：
When beings get totally caught up in materialism and "mistake thieves for their sons," their false thoughts create commonly held false views. The word "view" refers not to seeing, but to perception; everyone shares the same opinion, so there are false views held in common. Beings” false thoughts lead them to create false karma, and consequently they undergo false retributions. That is known as becoming deluded, creating karma, and undergoing the retribution. In the beginning, beings create karma out of ignorance. Having created karma, they then suffer the retribution. That”s the collective karma of beings. For example, when there”s a drought and people have nothing to eat, that”s a response due to their collective karma. Let me mention one case of collective karma.
民国三十三年(西元一九四四年)，在中国河南省这个地方闹荒旱，天不下雨。天不下雨还不要紧，天还生了蝗虫。蝗虫，就是在空中飞的一种虫子，这种虫子大约有三、四寸长，专门吃农产品，无论是菜蔬、小苗，农田里的耕作物，它都吃的。这蝗虫在天空一飞，遮天盖日的，你用小网在空中这么一捞，就可以捞这么一大网。那时候，人就捞蝗虫回来自己吃，因为人们什么东西都没得吃，就想吃蝗虫。他们以为蝗虫是吃农产品的，所以人就吃蝗虫。
In the thirty-third year of the Republic of China (1944), a drought struck HenanProvince in China. Not only was there no rain, there was also a plague of locusts. Locusts three or four inches long swarmed through the air and devoured all crops, including vegetables, sprouts, and anything growing in the…
