諸經要集 11.41

11.41

若諸凡夫造其罪福。不解因果善惡無性。是為迷事。取性常繫三有故。智度論云。譬如蠅無處不著。唯不著火焰。眾生愛著亦復如是。是善不善法中皆著。乃至非想亦著。唯不著般若波羅蜜性空大火。以此證知。無善惡性常輪五道。即當無佛性眾生也。此略明凡夫罪福二行迷事取性所依經論竟。

If ordinary people perform these transgressions and merits, not understanding that cause and effect, good and evil, have no intrinsic nature, this is delusion regarding concrete phenomena. Grasping at intrinsic natures, they are perpetually bound to the three realms of existence. Therefore the Treatise on the Great [Virtue of] Wisdom says: 'For example, just as a fly lands on everything and only does not land on a flame, the attachment of sentient beings is also like this: they are attached in both wholesome and unwholesome phenomena, and even up to [the realm of] neither-perception-[nor-non-perception] they are also attached; they only do not attach to the great fire of the emptiness of intrinsic nature of the prajñāpāramitā.' By this it is proven and known: failing to see that good and evil have no intrinsic nature, they constantly transmigrate in the five destinies, which corresponds to sentient beings without Buddha-nature. This brief clarification from sūtras and treatises of ordinary beings' two actions of transgression and merit, being deluded about concrete phenomena and grasping at intrinsic natures, is concluded.
