为了驳斥“是的”这种说法,举了中国的例子:就像中国的图画一样,从那样的泥团里也不会出现其他的图画。为了驳斥“从酸味的例子来看,那些体验过天神故事的人,即使没有行善,也会在所有生世中转生为天神;体验过恶道故事的人,即使没有作恶,也会在所有生世中转生于恶道”这种说法,举了镜子的例子:就像镜子中显现的面容一样,善与非善的果报相似地交织,不同地结合是相违背的。对于声音的例子来说,不是作者所为:就像人不出声就不会有回声一样,不是作者所为,众生也不会产生。为了消除这种说法,举了酸味的例子:就像以前喝过和吃过东西,之后说起就会流口水一样,由于先前使用过的业和烦恼的力量,之后会受生。大王啊,众生的出生和,毁灭和,从今生到他生的转移和,如何变化,请您那样了解。世尊如此开示后,所有聚集的眷属都欢喜赞叹。示现死亡转移如何变化的经圆满了。 询问寿命转移如何变化的经。

To refute the assertion "it is so," the example of China is given: Just as with a Chinese painting, no other painting will arise from a lump of clay like that. To refute the statement, "From the example of sourness, those who have experienced the stories of gods, even if they have not done good, will be born as gods in all lifetimes; those who have experienced the stories of bad destinies, even if they have not done evil, will be born in bad destinies in all lifetimes," the example of a mirror is given: Just as the face appears in a mirror, it is contradictory to combine the fruits of good and non-good in a similar and dissimilar way. In the example of sound, it is not done by the agent: Just as there is no echo without a person making a sound, beings do not arise without the agent acting. To eliminate this statement, the example of sourness is given: Just as saliva rises when one speaks of having drunk and eaten something before, later births are taken due to the power of karma and afflictions previously used. O great king, please understand in this way the birth of beings, and their destruction, and their transference from this life to the next, and how they change. When the Bhagavan had spoken thus, all the assembled retinue rejoiced and praised him. The sutra showing how death and transference change is complete. The Sutra of Asking How Life Transference Changes.
