法界圖記叢髓錄 2.19

2.19

Fa's Record says: The seven kinds of the truth of suffering are the seven kinds of birth-and-death; namely, there are three of apportioned [birth-and-death] and four of inconceivable transformation [birth-and-death]. The three of apportioned [birth-and-death] are the three realms. The four of inconceivable transformation [birth-and-death] are: first, birth-and-death through upāya; second, birth-and-death through causes and conditions; third, birth-and-death through possessing existence; fourth, birth-and-death through non-existence.
