翻譯名義集 4.65

4.65

Delusion and karma mutually reinforce each other, and causes and conditions assist one another; the three times revolve like an endless ring, and the six destinies are likened to a turning wheel. Ordinary people are sunk in confusion, their forms and minds frozen in solid attachment; sages transcend in awakening, birth and death melting away like frost. Clearing the forest of thorns, the five causes instantly cease; snapping the entangled ropes, the seven fruits are entirely destroyed. Therefore, this teaching of the twelve links is the penetrating contemplation of the intermediate vehicle.
