四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.24

2.24

初中，起業要託三毒而生；然毒之所起，我心為本。此義廣張，行人須識；如懺法中，具明業相。今略述起罪，必約三性而生；受報淺深，並由意業為本。故《明了論》解云：破戒得罪，輕重不定。有重心，破輕戒，得罪重。無慚羞心，作無畏難。或由見起，謂無因果。或由不信生，謂非佛制此戒；或不信破此戒得此報。或由疑生，為定佛制？為非佛制？為定得報？不定得報？若由如此心破，得罪便重。若不由如此心，偶爾破戒，重翻成輕。今隨三性，具列罪相。

In the first part: the generation of karma necessarily arises relying on the three poisons; but that from which the poisons arise takes the self-centered mind as its root. This principle is extensively expounded, and practitioners must know it; as in the repentance rituals, the aspects of karma are fully explained. Now, briefly stating the generation of offenses, they necessarily arise according to the three natures; the depth of the retribution received is fundamentally determined entirely by mental karma. Therefore the Vinayavibhāṣā explains: 'When breaking precepts and incurring offenses, the weight is not fixed. With a heavy mind, breaking a light precept incurs a heavy offense: with a mind devoid of shame, acting without dread; or arising from false views, claiming there is no cause and effect; or arising from lack of faith, claiming the Buddha did not institute this precept, or not believing that breaking this precept incurs this retribution; or arising from doubt—was it definitely instituted by the Buddha, or not instituted by the Buddha? Does it definitely incur retribution, or not definitely incur retribution? If one breaks it with such a mind, the offense incurred is heavy. If one does not break it with such a mind, and transgresses the precept accidentally, what is heavy turns to light.' Now, following the three natures, the aspects of offenses are fully listed.
