1.139

善惡之業亦不亡　此句釋也。肇曰。若無造無受者則不應有為。善獲福而為惡致殃。然眾生心識相傳美惡。由起報應之道連鎖相襲其猶聲和響順形直影端。此自然之理。無差毫分。復何假常我而主之哉。

"And the karma of good and evil does not perish." This line explains [the former]. Sengzhao says: "If there were neither maker nor receiver, there should not be the occurrence of doing good and obtaining fortune, or doing evil and incurring calamity. Yet, as the mind-consciousness of sentient beings transmits good and evil from one to another, the path of retribution arises thereby, continuing in unbroken succession like a harmonic sound followed by its echo, or an upright form followed by a straight shadow. This is the natural principle, without an error of a hair's breadth. Why then rely on an eternal self to act as its master?"
