為了工作可以喝酒嗎？

問：為了工作可以喝酒嗎？

答：在大乘佛法里，如果心是善的、清凈的，那麼身惡業、口惡業都有允許的時候。但是這有兩個條件：一是完全為眾生，不為自己；二是對眾生的利大弊小。

很多人借口：「不是有允許嘛！不是說為眾生可以嘛！」然後隨意去造這些惡業。的確是有允許的時候，但那是在為了眾生的情況下。自己先觀察自己的內心，有沒有貪嗔痴？如果有，是不允許的。你說是為了眾生，但是自己的相續還是污染的，內心還是不清凈，在這樣的情況下，很難真正利益眾生。

有人還是有疑惑：「是不是為眾生、為了工作可以喝酒啊？」比如今天出去應酬，若是你真正為了對方，自己不願意喝酒，發自內心不喜歡，覺得很噁心，但是為了辦事順利，然後喝點。為什麼要辦事順利呢？為了更方便的修行。修行是為了什麼？為了解脫；解脫是為了什麼？為了度化眾生——最終還是為了眾生。這樣的情況下是可以的，但是不能找借口。

現在很多人，自己想喝，然後找借口：「我是為了工作……」這樣肯定是造業的，因為你的內心還是貪，還在散亂。還有些人認為自己是修密的，行為就很隨便，吃肉、喝酒什麼都做。你為什麼要喝酒、吃肉？若是為了眾生，那你看看自己內心裡有沒有貪心、嗔恨心，內心是不是愚痴的？若是自己內心清凈，完全為了眾生，對眾生也有很大的利益，語言和行為上的一些善法是可以捨棄的，但內心是要完全清凈的，在不自私、不自利的情況下才可以。因果不虛，找借口是不行的。

Question: Can I drink for work?

Guru answers:In Mahayana, if your mind is good and pure, there are times to permit the conduct karmas and speech karmas. However, there are two prerequisites: first, you are totally for beings but not yourself; second, there are more advantages than the disadvantages for the beings.

Lots of people have such excuse: 「Isn』t that permitted? Isn』t that said it is permitted for beings?」 Then they make the bad karmas freely. There do have permission but when it is at the circumstance of benefiting beings. Watch your mind first, is there greed, anger and ignorance? If there is, it』s not permitted then. You say that you do this for beings, but your mind is still contaminated and impure, you can hardly benefit beings truly under this circumstance.

Some people still have questions: 「 Can I drink alcohol for beings or for work?」 For example, you have social intercourse today, you don』t want to drink and don』t like drinking from inside and even feel disgusting, but you are truly for others, in order to have the work done smoothly, you drink a bit. Why do you want the work to be done smoothly? It』s for more convenient at practice. What is practice for? It』s for liberation. What is liberation for? It』s for saving beings, all means for beings at the end. You are permitted to drink under such circumstance, but you cannot find yourself excuses to drink.

Nowadays, lots of people just want to drink and find excuse: 「 I drink for work…」 You make bad karma for sure by doing so for you are greedy and distracted. Some people think they practice Tantra, so they do whatever they want, such as eating meat and drinking alcohol. Why do you eat meat and drink? If it』s for beings, check yourself if there is greed, anger and ignorance at your mind? If your mind is pure and totally for beings, and there』s great benefit for beings, some of physical and verbal good deeds can be discarded. However, your mind should be totally pure, it is permitted when there is no selflessness and self-benefit. The law of cause and effect never fails, you cannot just find excuses.
