大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 67.20

67.20

Where the commentary says, 'Having already understood the three periods...' below, this is the second part, guarding against faults. Within this there are two parts: first, the faults; next, guarding against them. In the former, within each single fault, the text has three parts: first, indicating the name; second, investigating and explaining; third, distinguishing what they proceed from. What they proceed from is that the commentary indicates and explains the treatise: in both of the first two faults, the former looks toward the latter, while in the last one fault, the latter looks toward the former, because avidyā and saṃskāra precede retribution. First, the karma has already passed away and been lost before receiving retribution: the fruition is subsequent, looking back toward the preceding karma to constitute the fault.
