5.23

Third, from "able to eliminate fears" onward, is the human destiny. First, stating "all fears" is general; next, it specifically explains destroying the evils of the three obstacles. The three calamities are the retributive obstacle. Hostile bandits are warfare, which together with famine and pestilence are called the three calamities. Evil stars are the karmic obstacle: when karma comes to demand retribution, evil stars appear. Sorrow and distress are the afflictive obstacle.
