諸經要集 11.15

11.15

述曰。上來雖引經論明業因多種。至時斷罪未明輕重。故別引優婆塞戒經。辨業不同。別有四例。一將物對意有四。二輕重不同有八。三上中下不同復八。四依薩婆多論。有心無心不同復八。臨時判罪並皆攝盡。故經第一云。有物重意輕。有物輕意重。有物重意重。有物輕意輕。第一有物重意輕者。如無惡心殺於父母者是。第二物輕意重者。如以惡心殺於畜生者是。第三物重意重者。如以極惡心殺所生父母者是。第四物輕意輕者。如以輕心殺於畜生者是。

Daoshi says: Although the scriptures and treatises have been cited above to explain the many varieties of karmic causes, when it comes to judging transgressions, the gravity and lightness have not yet been clarified. Therefore, the Upāsakaśīla-sūtra is specially cited to distinguish the differences in karma, which have four distinct paradigms: first, matching the object against the mental intention yields four cases; second, differing gravity and lightness yields eight cases; third, differing high, middling, and low grades also yields eight cases; fourth, relying on the Sarvāstivāda treatises, differing with mind or without mind also yields eight cases. When judging offenses according to circumstances, all are subsumed therein. Thus the first fascicle of that sūtra states: there are heavy objects with light intention; there are light objects with heavy intention; there are heavy objects with heavy intention; and there are light objects with light intention. First, 'heavy object with light intention' is like killing one's father and mother without an evil mind. Second, 'light object with heavy intention' is like killing an animal with an evil mind. Third, 'heavy object with heavy intention' is like killing one's biological father and mother with an extremely evil mind. Fourth, 'light object with light intention' is like killing an animal with a casual mind.
