种姓之子，所造之业，一切有轻有重。轻与重二业，各有二：何者为二？谓决定与不决定。种姓之子，有说如是，不善业无果报。若不善业之果决定有，何故恶种断命者，生于天界之天神，得指环解脱之果报？如是之故，有说造业决定得果报，与决定不得果报。为断除恶见，经部中云：所造一切业，无不得果报者。种姓之子，重业亦可转为轻业，轻业亦可转为重业。然此非对一切有情而说，而于愚者与智者作差别。是故一切业非决定得果报，虽非决定，亦非不得。种姓之子，一切有情有二种，谓智者与愚痴者。其中，智者以智慧力，即使造作极重之地狱业，亦于此生仅受轻微之果报而得解脱。愚痴者则以今生之轻业，而受地狱之重业果报。狮子吼菩萨请问：世尊，若如是，则清净梵行与解脱之果亦不应修持。世尊告曰：种姓之子，若一切业决定得果报，则亦可说不需梵行与解脱，然因不决定故，为梵行与解脱之故，应修持果报。种姓之子，若舍弃一切不善业，则得善业之果报。若舍弃善业，则转为不善之果报。若一切业决定得果报，则不应修持圣道。若不修持圣道，则不得解脱。是故圣者们应摧毁决定之业，使异熟果报减轻，且不决定之业之异熟果报不

O son of good family, all actions performed have both light and heavy consequences. These two types of actions, light and heavy, each have two aspects: what are they? They are definite and indefinite. O son of good family, some say that there are no consequences for unwholesome actions. If the consequences of unwholesome actions are definitely experienced, then why is it that someone of low birth who takes life is born as a god in the heavens and attains the fruit of liberation with finger rings? Therefore, there are those who say that having performed an action, one definitely experiences the result, and one definitely does not experience the result. To cut off this evil view, it is said in the sutras: There is no action that is performed without experiencing its result. O son of good family, a heavy action can also be transformed into a light action, and a light action can also be transformed into a heavy action. However, this is not the case for all beings, but a distinction is made between the foolish and the wise. Therefore, not all actions definitely result in consequences; although they are not definite, they are also not without consequences. O son of good family, all sentient beings are of two types: the wise and the ignorant. Among them, the wise, through the power of wisdom, even if they have committed extremely heavy actions that would lead to the hell realms, will experience only a light result in this life and be liberated. The ignorant, through the light actions of this life, will experience the heavy results of actions that would lead to the hell realms. Simhanada Bodhisattva asked: Blessed One, if that is the case, then the pure practice of celibacy and the fruit of liberation should not be cultivated. The Blessed One replied: O son of good family, if all actions definitely result in consequences, then it could be said that celibacy and liberation are not necessary, but because it is not definite, one should cultivate the fruit for the sake of celibacy and liberation. O son of good family, if all unwholesome actions are abandoned, then the fruit of wholesome actions will be attained. If wholesome actions are abandoned, then they will turn into the fruit of unwholesome actions. If all actions definitely result in consequences, then it would not be necessary to cultivate the noble path. If the noble path is not cultivated, then one will not be liberated. Therefore, the noble ones should destroy definite actions and lighten their ripening, and the ripening of indefinite actions should not

因此为了获得解脱而修习道。如果一切业都必定获得果报，那么圣道就没有必要了，因为舍弃修习圣道之外，没有获得解脱的其他地方。没有获得解脱而说获得涅槃也是没有道理的。善男子，如果一切业都必定获得果报，那么一生只做善业就会恒常感受安乐，一生做沉重的恶业也会恒常感受巨大的痛苦。如果业的果报是这样，那么修道也没有必要了，解脱和涅槃也没有必要了，人也总是做人的种姓，婆罗门也总是做婆罗门的种姓。如果是这样，就没有恶劣的种姓和恶劣的人了，人也总是做人，婆罗门也总是做婆罗门，小时候做的业也应该从小时候开始感受，没有成年和年老时感受的道理。年老时做的不善业堕入地狱的众生，也不应该刚生到地狱就用身体感受，而应该年老后才感受。如果在年老时没有断除生命，那么成年时也不应该感受，如果成年时没有感受，那么年老时又怎么会感受呢？因为那业没有消失的缘故。如果业没有消失，那么修道和涅槃就不会存在。善男子，业有两种，决定的和不决定的。决定的业也有两种，异熟决定和时间决定。其中有些是异熟决定而时间不决定的，遇到因缘就会感受。有些是在三个时间感受的，就像现在感受，未来感受，之后感受。善男子，如果以决定的心做善业和恶业，做了之后生起极大的信心而非常欢喜，并且立誓要恒常供养三宝，这就是决定的业。善男子，有智慧者的善根是深厚而稳固的，应当等待。

Therefore, one cultivates the path in order to attain liberation. If all actions necessarily yield results, then the noble path would be unnecessary, because apart from abandoning the cultivation of the noble path, there is no other place to attain liberation. It is also unreasonable to say that one attains nirvana without attaining liberation. Son of good family, if all actions necessarily yield results, then one who only performs virtuous actions in one lifetime will always experience happiness, and one who performs heavy non-virtuous actions in one lifetime will always experience great suffering. If the result of actions is like that, then there is no need to cultivate the path, and there is no need for liberation and nirvana, and people will always be of the human caste, and Brahmins will always be of the Brahmin caste. If that is the case, then there would be no bad castes and no bad people, and people would always be human, and Brahmins would always be Brahmins, and actions done in childhood should be experienced from childhood, and there is no reason to experience them in adulthood or old age. Those who commit non-virtuous deeds in old age and fall into hell should not experience them with their bodies immediately after being born in hell, but should experience them only after they are old. If one does not cut off life in old age, then one should not experience it in adulthood, and if one does not experience it in adulthood, then how will one experience it in old age? Because that action has not disappeared. If the action has not disappeared, then the cultivation of the path and nirvana will not exist. Son of good family, there are two kinds of actions: definite and indefinite. There are also two kinds of definite actions: definitely ripened and definitely timed. Some are definitely ripened but indefinitely timed, and will be experienced when they meet with conditions. Some are experienced in three times, such as experiencing now, experiencing in the future, and experiencing later. Son of good family, if one does virtuous and non-virtuous actions with a definite mind, and after doing them, generates great faith and is very happy, and vows to always make offerings to the Three Jewels, then this is a definite action. Son of good family, the roots of virtue of the wise are deep and firm, and should be waited for.

由于困难，沉重的业也会变得轻松。愚痴者由于不善深重，即使是轻微的业，其果报也会变得沉重。因此，不能说一切业都是确定的。菩萨摩诃萨虽然没有众生地狱的业，但为了众生，发愿投生于众生地狱。善男子，过去众生寿命百岁时，我看到恒河沙数般的众生在地狱中遭受痛苦，于是生起大誓愿，取了众生地狱之身。菩萨在那时虽然没有那样的业，但为了众生，会承受众生地狱的果报。我在那时于众生地狱中，无数年间为罪人们广讲十二部经，他们听闻后摧毁了不善的果报，从而使众生地狱也空了，除了邪见者。这被称为菩萨摩诃萨现在、未来和以后不经历不善业。此外，善男子，在此贤劫中，无数众生投生于畜生道，遭受不善业的果报，我看到后又生起大誓愿，为了向这些众生说法并救度他们，我曾变为卡夏、鹿、熊、鸽子、猴子、龙、蛇、鹏、鱼、乌龟、狐狸、兔子、牛、马等的身体。善男子，菩萨摩诃萨虽然没有那样的恶劣畜生之业，但以大誓愿的力量，为了众生也会取那些身体。这被称为菩萨摩诃萨现在、未来和以后不经历的不善业。此外，善男子，在此贤劫中，无数无边的众生投生为饿鬼，以呕吐物、脂肪、肉、脓、血、粪尿、唾液、鼻涕为食，

Even heavy karma becomes light due to difficulties. The ignorant, due to the depth and density of their non-virtue, even light karma ripens into heaviness. Therefore, it should not be said that all karma is definite. Bodhisattvas, great beings, although they have no karma of sentient beings in hell, make aspirations to be born in the hells for the sake of sentient beings. Son of good family, in the past, when sentient beings lived to be a hundred years old, I saw as many sentient beings as grains of sand in the Ganges River suffering in hell, and I generated a great vow, taking the body of a sentient being in hell. Although Bodhisattvas do not truly have such karma at that time, they take the ripening of sentient beings in hell for the sake of sentient beings. At that time, in the hells of sentient beings, for countless years, I extensively explained and taught the twelve categories of scriptures to the sinful ones. Having heard this, they destroyed the ripening of non-virtue, and the hells of sentient beings were emptied, except for those with wrong views. This is said to be that Bodhisattvas, great beings, do not experience non-virtuous karma in the present, future, or later. Furthermore, son of good family, in this Fortunate Aeon, countless sentient beings are born in the animal realm, experiencing the fruits of non-virtuous karma. Having seen this, I again generated a great vow, and in order to teach the Dharma to and liberate those sentient beings, I experienced bodies as various as khasha, deer, bear, pigeon, monkey, nāga, snake, garuda, fish, turtle, fox, rabbit, cow, horse, and so forth. Son of good family, although Bodhisattvas, great beings, do not have such bad karma of animals, by the power of their great vows, they also take those bodies for the sake of sentient beings. This is said to be that Bodhisattvas, great beings, do not experience non-virtuous karma in the present, future, or later. Furthermore, son of good family, in this Fortunate Aeon, countless immeasurable sentient beings are born as pretas, eating vomit, fat, meat, pus, blood, feces, urine, saliva, and mucus,
