大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚 3.35

3.35

讚曰：以經威力能調眾惡，故是殺罪竝得銷除。由悟法性起斯勝行，故此大罪不招惡果。以經威力善能調伏一切煩惱及隨煩惱惡業等故，設有是罪不招惡果。相縛縛眾生亦由麁重縛善，後雙修止觀方乃俱解脫。一切惡業從煩惱生，一切煩惱從分別起，今離戲論、斷諸分別，分別既盡惑業亦亡，故此大罪聞經信解定得消滅。

The Commentary says: Because the majestic power of the sūtra can subdue all evils, even the sins of killing are completely eradicated. Because one gives rise to this supreme practice through awakening to the dharma-nature, this great sin does not incur bad retribution. Because the majestic power of the sūtra is well able to subdue all defilements, secondary defilements, bad karmas, and so forth, even if such sins exist, they do not incur bad retribution. Sentient beings are bound by the bond of marks, and also by the bond of coarse heaviness (dauṣṭhulya); only afterwards, by cultivating both tranquility and insight, are they completely liberated from both. All bad karmas arise from defilements, and all defilements arise from conceptual discrimination. Now, being separated from conceptual proliferation, one cuts off all conceptual discriminations; when conceptual discrimination is exhausted, defilements and karma are also destroyed. Therefore, by hearing the sūtra and having faithful understanding, this great sin is certainly extinguished.
