3.104

凡富貴貧賤好醜得失。皆是過去自造善惡業種子。總別依正果也。皆由第八識相分所變。故云。相分已定。鬼神不能移也○優婆塞戒經云智者了知是業果。云何說言時節星宿自在天作耶。若是時節星宿因緣者。天下有同時同宿生。云何復有一人受苦。一人受樂。一人是男。一人是女耶○正法念經云。善不善業。眾生自作。非星宿作。

All wealth, nobility, poverty, lowliness, beauty, ugliness, gain, and loss are seeds of wholesome and unwholesome karma created by oneself in the past, yielding the general and particular, dependent and primary retribution. They are all transformed by the objective aspect (nimittabhāga) of the eighth consciousness. Therefore it is said: 'Once the objective aspect is determined, ghosts and spirits cannot alter it.' The Upāsakaśīla-sūtra states: 'The wise clearly know that this is karmic fruition; how could one say that it is made by seasons, asterisms, or Īśvara? If it were due to causes and conditions of seasons and asterisms, there are people in the world born at the same time and under the same asterism; how is it that one experiences suffering and one experiences joy, one is male and one is female?' The Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra states: 'Wholesome and unwholesome karma are created by sentient beings themselves; they are not made by the asterisms.'"
