雜藏經云。為善福隨。履惡禍追。響之應聲。善惡如音。非天龍鬼神所授。非先禰所為。造之者心。成者身口矣。佛說偈曰。心為法本。心尊心使。中心念惡。即言即行。罪苦自追。車轢于轍。心為法本。心尊心使。中心念善。即言即行。福樂自追。如影隨形。

> The Zazang jing says: 'When one does good, blessings follow; when one treads in evil, disaster pursues. Like an echo responding to a sound, good and evil are like tones. They are not conferred by devas, nāgas, ghosts, or spirits, nor are they wrought by ancestors. Mind is that which creates them; body and speech are that which accomplish them.' The Buddha spoke in verse, saying:  
>   
> 'Mind is the basis of dharmas; / mind is supreme, mind is the master. / If within one thinks evil, / speaking it or doing it, / sin and suffering will follow of themselves, / like the wheel crushing upon the track. / Mind is the basis of dharmas; / mind is supreme, mind is the master. / If within one thinks good, / speaking it or doing it, / blessings and joy will follow of themselves, / like a shadow following a form.'
