大乘百法明門論開宗義決 1.95

1.95

Regarding "the vipāka effect mind incurred by fulfilling karma, etc.": Both karma and its effects have the aspects of leading and fulfilling. The effect of leading karma is the eighth consciousness; it is what is drawn forth and incurred by wholesome and unwholesome karma to serve as the entity of general retribution for the five destinies. "Leading karma" refers to the two kinds of karma—wholesome and unwholesome—that can lead forth this eighth consciousness. The effect of fulfilling karma refers to the inferior indeterminate [minds] among the six consciousnesses; they are brought about in accordance with wholesome and unwholesome causes to serve as the fulfilling effects of the six consciousnesses. "Fulfilling karma" refers to the two kinds of karma—wholesome and unwholesome—among the six consciousnesses, which can lead forth the indeterminate nature of their own consciousnesses, causing their own six consciousnesses to be fulfilled. Therefore, the Kośa says: "One karma leads to one rebirth; many karmas are able to fulfill it." These are what were previously called the two karma effects of general retribution and particular retribution.
