妙法蓮華經玄義 2.35

2.35

此經云：「得無量無漏清淨之果報。法王法中久修梵行，始於今日得其果報。」又云：「久修業所得。」《大經》云：「我今所獻食，願得無上報。」《仁王》云：「三賢、十聖住果報。」《攝大乘》云：「因緣生死、有後生死。」皆是分論果報，果報即是生滅。何者？無明分盡，是故論滅，真明轉盛，是故言生。又殘無明在，是故言生。一分惑除，是故言滅。《大論》云：「一人能耘，一人能種。」萬行資成如種，智慧破惑如耘。增道損生，意在於此。四十一地，皆有十法也。

This sūtra says: 'Obtaining an immeasurable, uncontaminated, and pure fruit-retribution. Having long cultivated brahma-conduct in the Dharma of the Dharma King, only today do we obtain its fruit-retribution.' It also says: 'Obtained through deeds long cultivated.' The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: 'May the food I offer now obtain an unsurpassed retribution.' The Benevolent Kings Sūtra says: 'The three worthies and ten sages abide in fruit-retribution.' The Mahāyānasaṃgraha says: 'Samsāra conditioned by cause and condition; samsāra having a remainder.' These all discuss fruit-retribution in terms of parts; fruit-retribution is simply arising and ceasing. Why? Because a portion of ignorance is exhausted, cessation is discussed; because true illumination becomes increasingly abundant, arising is spoken of. Again, because residual ignorance remains, arising is spoken of; because one portion of delusion is removed, cessation is spoken of. The Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra says: 'One person is able to weed, one person is able to sow.' The myriad practices supporting and accomplishing are like sowing; wisdom destroying delusion is like weeding. Increasing the Way and decreasing rebirth—the meaning lies in this. All forty-one stages possess the ten dharmas.
