經律異相 33.70

33.70

"Has the king not heard the Buddha's words? / Retribution cannot be described; / even a pratyekabuddha / cannot escape it. / All ordinary beings / are entirely created by their karma. / When the time arrives for the conditions of wholesome and unwholesome karma, / they must inevitably be received. / All sentient beings / act on their own and receive the retribution themselves. / Because I know this condition, / I will not speak of the person who destroyed my eyes. / This suffering was made by myself; / there was no other maker. / Such conditions of the eyes / did not stem from another person. / The suffering of all sentient beings / is likewise entirely like this: / it is all born from karma. / The king should know this matter."
