4.11

二十五中,初「福田曰」,標人別說。下彰所說。「福行罪行不動行二」,反舉二相。三塗惡業及人天中別報苦業名為罪行,欲界人天一切善業及鬼畜中別報樂業名為福行,上二界中稱定靜業名不動行。下翻此二以明不二,二相雙遣為不二矣。先辨、後結。辨中初言「三行實性即是空」,破別歸一。空則無有罪福不動,以一遣別。此解不二。「於此三行不起」者,釋其入義。「是為」下結。

In the twenty-fifth [statement], first, "Puṇyakṣetra said" indicates the person who speaks separately. Below, what he said is clarified. "'Meritorious action, sinful action, and immovable action are two'" points back to the signs of duality. Evil karma of the three destinies and karmas of suffering as distinct retributions among humans and devas are called "sinful action"; all wholesome karma among humans and devas of the desire realm and karmas of pleasure as distinct retributions among ghosts and animals are called "meritorious action"; and the quiet karma conforming to concentration in the upper two realms is called "immovable action." Below, he overturns these two to clarify nonduality, where the double elimination of the two signs constitutes nonduality. First he differentiates, and then he concludes. In differentiating, he first says "the real nature of the three actions is just emptiness," which refutes the distinct to return to the one. Being empty, there is no sin, merit, or immovability; this eliminates the distinct by means of the one. This explains nonduality. "Not giving rise [to anything] regarding these three actions" explains the meaning of entering. "This is..." and what follows concludes.
