瑜伽師地論略纂 15.166

15.166

Regarding the treatise's statement, "Intention is karma, not a course of karma; the seven beginning with killing are both karma and courses of karma; the three beginning with wrong view are courses of karma and not karma": earlier it was said that manifest karma is in its essence intention; how in this context is intention not a course? Being trodden upon is named 'course'; intention itself is not a course. Because it can attain fruit, it is called a 'fruit course'; intention is also a fruit course, and mental karma is likewise. As in the fifty-third [fascicle], the Karmasiddhiprakaraṇa, and the earlier eighth fascicle of the Maulī Bhūmi.
