佛說佛名經 1.54

1.54

「第七觀罪性空者，無有實相從因緣生，顛倒而有，既從因緣而生，則可從因緣而滅。從因緣而生者，押近惡友造作無端；從因緣而滅者，即是今日洗心懺悔。是故，經言：『此罪相不在內不在外不在中間，故知此罪從本是空。』

"Seventh is contemplating the empty nature of sin. It has no real mark; it is born from causes and conditions and exists through inversion. Since it is born from causes and conditions, it can likewise be extinguished through causes and conditions. Being born from causes and conditions refers to drawing near to evil friends and committing [misdeeds] without restraint; being extinguished through causes and conditions refers precisely to washing one's mind today and performing kṣamā. Therefore, a sūtra states: 'This mark of sin is not inside, not outside, and not in between; thus one knows that this sin is fundamentally empty.'
