6.47

Question: The retributions of sentient beings in the five destinies are not the same, and suffering and happiness differ. For example, sentient beings of the three wretched destinies have mostly retributions of suffering, sentient beings of the human destiny experience half suffering and half happiness, and sentient beings of the heavenly destiny mostly experience retributions of happiness. Why is it that through the conditions of practicing benevolence one sees all experiencing happiness, while through the conditions of practicing compassion one sees all experiencing suffering? Is this not inverted?
