### [11.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.11.16)

第二如是惡業。復有八種輕重不同。何等為八。一有方便重根本成已輕。二有根本重方便成已輕。三有成已重方便根本輕。四有方便根本重成已輕。五有方便成已重根本輕。六有根本成已重方便輕。七有方便根本成已重。八有方便根本成已輕。物是一種。以心力故得輕重果。如十善業道。有其三事。一方便。二根本。三成已。若復有人。能勤禮拜供養父母師長和尚有德之人。先意問訊。言則柔軟。是名方便。若作已竟。能修念心。歡喜不悔。是名成已。作時專著。是名根本。十善既爾。十惡亦然。

> Second, such unwholesome karma further has eight varieties differing in gravity and lightness. What are the eight? (1) Heavy preliminary preparation, light primary act and conclusion; (2) heavy primary act, light preliminary preparation and conclusion; (3) heavy conclusion, light preliminary preparation and primary act; (4) heavy preliminary preparation and primary act, light conclusion; (5) heavy preliminary preparation and conclusion, light primary act; (6) heavy primary act and conclusion, light preliminary preparation; (7) heavy preliminary preparation, primary act, and conclusion; (8) light preliminary preparation, primary act, and conclusion. The object is one and the same, yet through the power of mind one receives heavy or light fruits. For example, the ten wholesome paths of action have three stages: first, preliminary preparation; second, the primary act; third, conclusion. If there is a person who can diligently bow to and make offerings to father and mother, teachers, elders, upādhyāyas, and virtuous persons, politely greeting them in advance and speaking softly, this is called the preliminary preparation. When the act is done, being able to cultivate mindfulness, rejoicing without regret, this is called the conclusion. Concentrating and applying oneself at the time of doing it is called the primary act. As it is with the ten wholesome acts, so it is with the ten unwholesome acts.
