【英汉对照佛学词典】

生业


(1) The work that one does to make a living; one's livelihood. (karman) (2) Particularizing karma--the karma that determines precise conditions in one's rebirth, such as one's personality, level of intelligence, social status, and so forth; same as 满业, which contrasts with directive karma 引业, which determines more general conditions, such as the species into which one is born. This karma is generally understood as being produced from desire, whereas directive karma is produced from ignorance. [瑜伽论T 1579.30.612b]
