# 摩訶止觀 4.121

摩訶止觀 4.121

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.121)

人事是業也。業生三界，往來五道。以愛潤業，處處受生；若無業者，愛無所潤。諸業雖有力，不逐不作者；不作故，生死則斷。

> Human affairs are karma. Karma generates \[rebirth in\] the three realms and wandering through the five destinies. When karma is moistened by craving, one receives birth everywhere; if there is no karma, there is nothing for craving to moisten. Although various karmas have power, they do not pursue one who does not act; because one does not act, birth and death are cut off.
