7.10

[Kumāra]jīva says: The five acts of immediate retribution are sinful karma. From hell to hungry ghosts are the retributions of evil destinies. [Seng]zhao says: The five rebellious sins inevitably arise from vexation and malice; one who commits these sins, upon casting off the body, inevitably enters hell to undergo suffering without intermission. The bodhisattva demonstrates committing the five rebellious sins without vexation or malice; this is because, not considering rebellion as rebellion, he can participate in rebellion. If one considered rebellion as rebellion, who would dare participate in it?
