法苑珠林 68.8

68.8

又優婆塞戒經云。若善男子。有人不解如是業緣。無量世中流轉生死。雖生非想非非想處。壽八萬劫。福盡還墮三惡道故。佛告善男子。一切摸畫無勝於意。意畫煩惱。煩惱畫業。業則畫身。

Moreover, the Upāsakaśīla-sūtra says: If, good man, there is a person who does not understand such karmic conditions, they will wander through birth and death for immeasurable lifetimes. Even if they are born in the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception with a lifespan of eighty thousand kalpas, when their merits are exhausted they fall back into the three evil destinies. Therefore the Buddha told the good man: Of all painters, none surpasses the mind. The mind paints afflictions, afflictions paint karma, and karma paints the physical body.
