大般涅槃經集解 55.76

55.76

Sengliang comments: He borrows this to reveal the meaning of mutual cause and fruit. Ignorance is the cause and volitional formations are the fruit; naturally, after volitional formations, minor afflictions arise again, which are described as ignorance. This clarifies that subtle and gross, preceding and succeeding, mutually give rise to one another and alternately act as cause and effect; it also obtains the meaning of repeated causes and repeated fruits.
