金剛經纂要刊定記 2.121

2.121

災厄等者。有厄則災禍必來，有業則苦果定至，厄除則災禍不起，業喪則苦果不生。隨人所須。有二意：一則如餘物不能隨所須，金不可為銀用，羅不可為錦用等；金剛則不然，要者皆得。法中亦爾，有漏功德人不可為天，富不可為貧；無漏不爾，隨心所成。二則餘物用之則盡，金剛出之不窮。法上亦爾，有漏受之則窮，無漏受之不盡。

Regarding 'calamities and distress', and so forth: When there is distress, disasters and misfortunes will certainly come; when there is karma, suffering fruits will definitely arrive. When distress is removed, disasters and misfortunes do not arise; when karma is destroyed, suffering fruits do not come to be. Regarding 'according with what people need', there are two meanings: First, other things cannot accord with whatever is needed—gold cannot serve the use of silver, gauze cannot serve the use of brocade, and so forth; vajra, however, is not like this, as whatever is needed is obtained. In the Dharma it is also like this: contaminated merits for a human cannot serve for a deva, or for wealth cannot serve for poverty; uncontaminated [merits] are not like this, being accomplished according to one's mind. Second, other things are exhausted when used, whereas vajra yields inexhaustibly. In terms of the Dharma it is also like this: contaminated things are exhausted when experienced, whereas uncontaminated things are inexhaustible when experienced.
