6.138

From "Because of this" downwards establishes the reason why upholding and reciting do not attain bodhi. Because names, phrases, and syllables are subsumed under the morally neutral (avyākṛta), and among morally neutral dharmas there is no cause and effect, how could they induce bodhi? The sūtra's comparison can be understood from the text. Regarding "Although it is said," etc., it concedes that they are morally neutral. Regarding "Yet expounding," etc., it does not concede that they are not causes.
