"Liberation" has the sense of freedom. Not only does it cause the mind not to be liberated, it can also create karma and moisten karma: karma means good, bad, and immovable karma. Because there is a karmic cause, it inevitably incurs fruitional retribution, which is undergoing rebirth. The place of undergoing rebirth is the so-called five destinies: born and dying again, departing and coming back, hence it is called "transmigrating." The characteristics of transmigration are already as in the preface under the meaning of the silk-cord wheel. Tracing back to its source, it is grasping at self; thus we know grasping at self is the root of faults, and therefore it must be eliminated. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.21) - [Next: 2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.23) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.2.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.22) · Pramāṇa
