大般涅槃經集解 60.86

60.86

Sengliang states: "Having already severed fixed karma and unfixed karma, they willingly undergo unfixed karma through vows, which proves that all karma is unfixed. 'Causing the hells to become empty' explains the benefit of being born there." Baoliang states: "Because the wise person possesses these four virtues, all are unfixed. Therefore the bodhisattva constantly remains in the hells to awaken sentient beings. If their karma were fixed, how could they cause beings to leave suffering, ascend to the human and heavenly realms, and advance in virtue?"
