金光明經文句 2.3

2.3

報障，如上可解。煩惱與業云何？數人云：數起而輕名煩惱，數起而重名為業。天台師云：任運常有是煩惱，卒起決定心發動身口、必牽來報者是業。若爾、惡星災異都不關心，云何是業障？此乃外相表業將起，是業責報之相，即得是業障也。若煩惱業轉，報未必轉；若報轉業，煩惱必轉。通論，見思煩惱皆有愁憂恐怖；別論，愁憂屬見煩惱，恐怖屬愛煩惱。今不具記（云云）。

The retribution obstacle can be understood as explained above. What about afflictions and karma? The Abhidharma theorists say: that which arises frequently and is light is called affliction; that which arises frequently and is heavy is called karma. Master Tiantai says: that which is naturally and constantly present is affliction; that which suddenly arises with a resolute mind, setting body and speech into motion and inevitably pulling in a future retribution, is karma. If so, evil stars and ominous calamities do not concern the mind at all; how are they the obstacle of karma? These are the external signs indicating that karma is about to arise; they are the signs of karma demanding its retribution, and thus they can be called the obstacle of karma. If afflictions and karma are transformed, the retribution is not necessarily transformed; if the retribution transforms karma, the afflictions must be transformed. Speaking generally, afflictions of view and thought both have grief, sorrow, and terror; speaking specifically, grief and sorrow belong to afflictions of view, while terror belongs to afflictions of craving. They are not fully recorded now (and so forth).
