大方便佛報恩經 6.31

6.31

問曰：「若歸三寶能除罪過，息怖畏者，提婆達多亦歸依三寶，以信出家，受具足戒，而犯三逆，墮阿鼻獄？」

Question: "If taking refuge in the Triratna can eliminate sins and offenses and bring fear to an end, why did Devadatta also take refuge in the Triratna, go forth from the household life out of faith, receive the full precepts, and yet commit three unpardonable sins and fall into the Avīci hell?"
