Yet all sentient beings receive painful retributions according to the karma of their own minds; hence a sūtra verse says: / "Even after hundreds of thousands of kalpas, / the karma that is created does not perish; / when causes and conditions converge, / one still receives the retribution oneself." / How can a bodhisattva shut the gates of all bad destinies? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 91.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.91.11) - [Next: 91.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.91.13) - [Up: 91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.91) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.91.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.91.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.91.12) · Pramāṇa
