法華義疏 12.60

12.60

一意如上。有至心不至心故有脫不脫。二者、脫有利益是則救之，脫無利益故不救也。三者、與觀音結緣有厚薄，薄者善少故不脫，厚者善多是故得脫。四者、眾生業有定不定，不定可救、定不可救。所言定者：一、重心作已心無慚愧，二者、覆藏，三者、作已更作，四、起願扶之，故決定得報，不可救也。

One sense is as stated above: because there is the utmost sincere mind and the non-utmost sincere mind, there is escaping and not escaping. Second, if escaping entails benefit, he then rescues them; if escaping entails no benefit, he therefore does not rescue them. Third, their karmic affinity formed with Avalokiteśvara has thicknesses and shallowness: for those whose affinity is shallow, their goodness is little, hence they do not escape; for those whose affinity is thick, their goodness is abundant, and therefore they obtain escape. Fourth, the karma of sentient beings is either determinate or indeterminate: indeterminate karma can be rescued, while determinate karma cannot be rescued. What is meant by "determinate": first, having committed it with a grave mind, the mind has no shame or remorse; second, concealing it; third, having committed it, committing it again; fourth, giving rise to vows to support it. Therefore they will definitely receive retribution and cannot be rescued.
