觀音玄義 2.50

2.50

問：凡名凡僻，善則招樂、惡則感苦；聖名為正，正則非善、非惡，非苦、非樂。善惡之僻，何能感非善、非惡之正耶？答：正聖慈悲，拔其善惡之僻，令入非善、非惡之正，故有感應。

Question: The ordinary is called the ordinary and deviant: good invites pleasure, while evil stimulates suffering. The sage is called correct: what is correct is neither good nor evil, neither suffering nor pleasure. How can the deviance of good and evil stimulate the correctness that is neither good nor evil? Answer: The correct sage, out of benevolence and compassion, eradicates their deviance of good and evil and causes them to enter the correctness that is neither good nor evil; therefore there is stimulus and response.
