3. 「過去からの影響：私たちの人生における因縁の意味」
ある時、深夜の寂寥なる書斎に、一冊の古い経典が静かに開かれた。その書物は、数世紀もの歳月を超えて、叡智の輝きを今なお放っていた。
その夜、一人の修行者が、自らの因縁と向き合っていた。因果の絡み合いが、彼の心を押し潰すように迫ってきた。昔、彼の妹が若さという輝かしい時をスイ臓ガンに奪われたときのことを思い出す。彼女は、なぜこんなにも苦しみを味わわなければならないのかと、兄に問いかけた。その問いに、彼は答えを持っていなかった。そして、今、自らの命運も同じ轍を辿ろうとしているのだ。
修行者は経典の言葉を辿り、自らの因縁を探る。その中で、彼は驚愕の事実を知る。彼と妹は、同じ星によって照らされた運命を背負っていた。四十八歳から四十九歳の天命殺に、ガンに冒されるという運命だった。
祖先の因縁が、彼の人生に暗い影を落としていることを知り、彼は悩む。母から受け継いだ遺伝子が、祖先からの呪いを背負っているとすれば、彼はその因縁から逃れることができるのだろうか。親や祖先を愛する心と、彼らの因縁によって自らが苦しむ現実との間で、彼は苦悩する。
しかし、仏教の教えが、彼の心の迷いを解き放つ。彼は経典を読み漁り、仏陀の教えに導かれる。因果の法則の中に、彼の苦悩の答えがあることを知った。
彼は静かな夜の中で、自らの因縁を受け入れる覚悟を決めた。祖先の因縁や遺伝子の影響に囚われることなく、仏法の教えに従って、自らの道を歩むことを決意したのだった。

3. “Influence from the Past: The Meaning of Karma in Our Lives”
One day, late at night, an old scripture was quietly opened in a lonely study. The book still radiated the light of wisdom, even after centuries of age.
That night, a monk was facing his own karma. The entanglement of karma was crushing his heart. He remembered the time when his sister lost her glorious youth to pancreatic cancer. She asked her brother why she had to suffer so much. He had no answer to that question. And now, his own fate is about to follow the same path.
The monk traces the words of the scriptures and searches for his own karma. In the process, he learns a shocking truth. He and his sister were carrying a destiny illuminated by the same star. He was destined to be afflicted with cancer between the ages of 48 and 49.
He was troubled to learn that the karma of his ancestors cast a dark shadow over his life. If the genes he inherited from his mother carried a curse from his ancestors, could he escape that karma? He was torn between his love for his parents and ancestors and the reality that he was suffering because of their karma.
But the teachings of Buddhism freed him from his confusion. He read through the scriptures and was guided by the teachings of the Buddha. He found the answer to his suffering in the law of cause and effect.
In the quiet of the night, he made up his mind to accept his karma. He resolved to walk his own path according to the teachings of Buddhism, without being trapped by the influence of his ancestors’ karma or genes.
