大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 70.41

70.41

The third is the dense forest of karma. In the treatise there are two parts: first, the direct explanation; second, the repeated distinction. Now the commentary combines the subsequent text of repeated distinction into the preceding text; in the direct explanation, it uses nine lines divided into two: the first eight distinguish karma in relation to its fruit, and the last one clarifies the determinate and indeterminate. Regarding the first eight, Master Yuan subsumes them into three pairs: the first three form one pair, the next three form one pair, and the last two form one pair. Among the three pairs, each first clarifies karma as cause in relation to the fruit, and subsequently makes distinctions according to the principle based on the essence of karma.
