問：習氣是造業的因，為什麼聲聞緣覺有習氣障卻不造業？
Question：Habitual tendencies are the cause of karma。 What is the reason that sravakas and pratyekabuddhas have habitual tendencies but they do not create karmas？
答：習氣有粗大的習氣，有細微的習氣。細微的習氣不是造業的因。八地菩薩、十地菩薩也有習氣，但是他不會造業的。我們有時候不知不覺的造業，那是一個粗大的習氣，而四障中的習氣是一個細微的習氣。
Guru’s answer： Habitual tendencies include gross and minor ones。 Minor habitual tendencies do not become the cause of karma。 Bodhisattvas on the eighth and tenth stage also have habitual tendencies， but they don’t create karmas。 Those karmas we are creating unknowingly belong to gross habitual tendencies。 Those in four obstacles are minor habitual tendencies。
習氣是一個總稱，各種各樣的，每一個習氣的定義都不一樣。包括煩惱也是，有多種多樣，八萬四千煩惱，每一個煩惱的定義都不一樣。
Habitual tendency is a general term。 It has various forms and each of them has its own definition。 It is like afflictions。 There are various kinds of afflictions， such as eighty-four thousand afflictions。 Each of them has an individual definition。
習氣是造業的因，習氣障是最後障礙佛圓滿的障礙，這兩個習氣的定義都不一樣，不能一概而論。
Habitual tendencies are the cause of karma。 Obscurations of habitual tendencies are the last obstacle that stops a buddha from achieving completeness。 These two habitual tendencies are different in definition。 We should not generalize these two ideas。
