91.12

Question: Sūtras say that the bodhisattva shuts the gates of all bad destinies. 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?
