四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.542

2.542

The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: Although the vinaya precepts are minute, if one confesses them, one becomes pure. If one violates the precepts of the ten good actions, although one confesses, the retributions of the three evil destinies are not eliminated. Just as when a bhikṣu kills an animal, the karmic retribution still remains. This was already fully set forth before. Fearing that one might neglect the natural precepts, thinking that once confessed there is no karma, the rest is as described in the chapter on practices.
