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?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.138) - [Next: 1.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.140) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.1.139) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.280) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.139) · Pramāṇa
