[1A] 果位 Phala ~ 家庭主妇 Housewife

Terjemahan Bahasa: [1A] Pahala ~ Ibu Rumah Tangga

Housewife ~ a married woman whose main occupation is caring for her family, managing household affairs, and doing housework.
"the traditional division of labour between the husband as breadwinner and wife as housewife"

A housewife is a woman whose occupation is running or managing her family's home—caring for her children; buying, cooking, and storing food for the family; buying goods that the family needs in everyday life; housekeeping and maintaining the home; and making clothes for the family—and who is not employed outside the home.

A housewife may also be called a stay-at-home mother or "SAHM", and a househusband may be called a "male homemaker", "stay-at-home father, or SAHD. 

Homemaker and housespouse are gender-neutral variants.

Webster's Dictionary describes a housewife as a married woman who is in charge of her household. The British Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary (1901) defined a housewife as: "the mistress of a household; a female domestic manager; a pocket sewing kit".

家庭主婦（英語：Housewife），簡稱主婦，是已婚婦女從事的一種崗位，指全職照顧家庭、不外出工作的婦女。

服務對象是家庭的成員，包括丈夫、兒女，與夫家成員同住的還要照顧夫家的成員。

如由男性（丈夫）在家負責這些工作，由妻子及其他家庭成員出外賺錢養家，則稱為家庭主夫。

此種身分所付出的勞動報酬基本上是無償的，不過也由《婚姻法》保障主婦的權益，例如遺產分配權、離婚婦女權益等。

Quoting from [1] 果位 Phala:

得須陀洹果的聖者，有兩個特點：
Those saints that attained Sotapanna Phala have two specific characteristics:

不墮法（avinipata-dhamma），又稱不墮惡趣法，確立戒行，不犯導致投生惡趣的六種惡事，不會得惡果報，不會墮於地獄、餓鬼、畜生等三惡道。
Avinipata-dhamma ~ method/dharma of not succumbing to pressure, temptation, or other negative force; affirming discipline practice, not committing any act that lead to the 6 evils or non-virtues, won't result in evil karmic returns, won't descend to the 3 evil paths of Hell, Hungry ghost or animal.

正定聚（ sammatta-niyata），又叫正性決定、決定正向三菩提、決定正向於正覺，成為須陀洹之後，定力不退，因此再也不會轉為凡夫，必定到達最高的覺悟。

Sammatta-niyata ~ Cluster of Fixed Rightness also termed as Right nature decision, decide right direction/path to Sambohdi, Right Realisation, after attaining Sotapanna Stability won't recede, because won't ever transform into Sentient being, sure to attain topmost Realisation.

[Are all things 'fixed' (niyata)? And are all actions, or kammas (i.e. maturing in this ... or to sammatta-niyata, i.e. 'fixed as to rightness' and Noble attainment; 

and that all the other things are 'unfixed', or aniyata.

a-niyata, mfn. [ts.], undetermined, uncertain, doubtful; irregular, casual; 

dve ~ā dhammā, the two rules regarding undetermined matters 

(i. e. matters involving penance only according to circumstances)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

《金刚经》云：「若菩萨有我相、人相、众生相、寿者相，则非菩萨。」；因此即使须陀洹亦离此四相。

Diamond Sutra : If Boddhisattva has the notion of a self, the notion of others, the notion of sentient beings, or the notion of longevity, then he is not a bodhisattva.

Thus even Sotapanna will also leave these 4 Forms.

同门师兄：法师，我老婆不修法，你可以叫她念师尊心咒或高王经吗？

Fellow male student: Fashi, my wife don't do dharma cultivation, can you tell her to chant Guru's mantra or High King Sutra?

我问：你的［修法］定义是什么？

I asked: What is your definition of [Dharma cultivation]?

［我又将这个问题问在座的同门。］

[I also throw this question to all fellow students present.]

答案？ 真有趣！

Answers? Real hilarious!

1. 修法 －是修正自己的怀习惯。

Dharma cultivation is to correct our own bad habits.

2. 修法 － 是修改不好的［身口意］。

Dharma cultivation is to right not good [body speech mind].

3. 师尊说：一日不修便是鬼。

GM said: A day of no cultivation then is ghost.

4. 这个老婆，同门师姐：我有时想念就念。因为家务繁忙，没时间修法。

This wife, fellow student: Sometimes I think to chant then I will chant. Because of heavy load of household chores，no time to cultivate.

我又问：你认为［修法］该是什么样的［形式］？

I asked again: In your opinion, what kind of [Form] should [Dharma Cultivation] be?

世尊寻的是［离苦得乐］法，欲传的也是［离苦得乐］法！

World supreme one seeks ways [to leave suffering and attain happiness] , and wish to transmit this same ways or dharma!

你将自己的［修法］概念，枷锁于他人，就是给他人制造［痛苦］。

You set your idea of [Dharma cultivation] to lock up others, this is creating [Suffering] for others.

再说：师尊也说过：做什么都是修行。

Moreover: GM said previously: Do what is also Cultivation.

就是，我们的［身口意］所演化的／执行的，只要按照佛的教诲走，就是修行！

That is, our [Body speech mind]'s enactment/execution, as long as adhere to Buddha's teaching to tread, that is cultivation!

一个［家庭主妇］所有的［身口意］演化都是以［他人快乐］为主的。

那么，你还能说她没有［修法］吗？

A [Housewife]'s [Body speech mind] is all enactment prioritising [Others' Happiness]. 

Thus, can you still said that she didn't do [Dharma Cultivation]?

哈哈哈！Hahaha!

噢！我也同这个同门师兄讲：你老婆的［果位］高过你！

O! I also told the male fellow student: Your wife has a higher [Phala] than you!

只要她开始实修，定会超越你等！

If she starts to cultivation diligently, sure will surpass you all!

备注：我不是推荐或教任何人不要修法，只是在修法过程要铭记［佛理］，了解了［用］之［演化］和［实践］佛 的［利乐众生］，度众［离苦得乐］！

Remark: I am not advocating or teaching anyone to not cultivate dharma, only to bear steadfastly in mind [Buddha's Philosophy] in the process of Dharma Cultivation, to understand and [Use] it to [Enact] and [Realise] Buddha's [Benefiting all sentient beings] , succour all beings to [leave suffering and attain happiness]!
