勝鬘寶窟 2.46

2.46

The third is the gate of clarifying causes and conditions: Fragmentary [birth-and-death] bound by karma takes unwholesome, meritorious, and immovable karma as its causes, and the four graspings as its conditions. Fragmentary [birth-and-death] not bound [by karma] takes subtle karma as its cause, and conditions such as compassionate vows. Transformation of one's own retribution takes uncontaminated karma as its cause and ignorance as its condition; transformation for the sake of beings takes compassionate vows as its cause and the faculties and desires of sentient beings as its conditions.
