Masters of the \*Satyasiddhi Śāstra\* say: a single thought of goodness has two causes: habituation and retribution; the retributive cause induces \[rebirth among\] humans and gods, while the habituation cause conditions nature and continues in sequence to produce buddhahood. Now, to clarify this: both of these interpretations become difficult to accept. A sūtra says: 'Good deeds with apprehension neither move nor deliver.' Since the goodness of an ordinary being's habituation cause involves apprehension, how could it achieve buddhahood? One may therefore turn this statement back to challenge Dharma Master \[Dao\]sheng. We now clarify that good causes have the aspects of receiving retribution and not receiving retribution: goodness with apprehension receives a retribution with apprehension, and goodness without apprehension receives a retribution without apprehension—this is called the aspect of receiving retribution. Goodness with apprehension does not receive a retribution without apprehension, and goodness without apprehension does not receive a retribution with apprehension—this is called the aspect of not receiving retribution. Therefore, the \*Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā\* says: 'Goodness with apprehension neither moves nor delivers; goodness without apprehension can move and can deliver'—which serves as proof. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.111](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.111) - [Next: 4.113](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.113) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.4.112) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.112](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.112) · Pramāṇa
