5.140

什曰:外國法,從生至終所作福業,一一書記。若命終時,傍人為說,令其恃福心不憂畏也。肇曰:恐新學菩薩為疾所亂,故勸憶所修福,悅其情也。生曰:若有福者,所生必勝,有何畏哉?

[Kumāra]jīva says: According to the custom of foreign countries, the meritorious karmas performed from birth to death are recorded one by one. When life ends, those nearby recount them to the person, causing them to rely on merit so that the mind has no grief or fear. [Seng]zhao says: Fearing that beginning bodhisattvas may be perturbed by illness, he encourages them to recall the merit they have cultivated to gladden their feelings. [Dao]sheng says: If one has merit, one's future rebirth will certainly be superior; what is there to fear?
