大般涅槃經義記 6.356

6.356

「慚愧」下別，別中三番：一就有義明非有無、二就破有入空義中明非有無、三就破空顯實義中明非有無。就初事中，「慚愧之人則是非有」能滅除故，「無慚愧者則為非無」不能滅故。此論業體。受果報者名之為有彰其業能，能得果故。

From "Shame and remorse" downward is the specific [analysis]. Within the specific, there are three turns: first, explaining neither existent nor non-existent in terms of the meaning of existence; second, explaining neither existent nor non-existent in terms of the meaning of breaking through existence to enter emptiness; third, explaining neither existent nor non-existent in terms of the meaning of breaking through emptiness to reveal reality. In the first case: "A person of shame and remorse is not existent" because they can eradicate it; "one without shame and remorse is not non-existent" because they cannot eradicate it. This discusses the substance of the karma. One who receives the retribution is called existent, showing the efficacy of its karma, because it can obtain an effect.
