仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.90

2.90

Exposition: Below clarifies the fragmented birth-and-death of the three realms. "Sentient beings" refers to the realm of sentient beings. "Retribution" refers to the karmic fruit of the six destinies. "Three realms" refers to the external container world. "False and deceptive" means that the causes and effects of both are unreal. As the Anūnatvāpūrṇatvanirdeśa Sūtra says: "The pure dharmakāya, drifted and agitated by defilements, wandering through birth-and-death, is called a sentient being." This clarifies that sentient beings are by original nature pure; drifted and agitated by ignorance and karma, they sleep long in the three realms, transmigrating through the six destinies, wandering through birth-and-death, just like actors performing various illusions, all being false and deceptive. Next is the second: explaining the karma of the three realms. This is divided into three: first, clarifying the karma of the desire realm.
