If you put forward the argument that tihey have no craving leading to grasping, [our response is:] Even if their craving is undefiled, does it not exist as delusion?

Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

If through removal of defilement you are freed,

Your freedom should occur at once. Yet those who from defilements are set free

Continue to display the influence of karma.

If liberation came from relinquishment of the afflictions,

It should happen immediately after this. However, one sees the efficacy of actions[p.687]The Center of the Sunlit Sky
Brunnhölzl, Karl. The Center of the Sunlit Sky: Madhyamaka in the Kagyü Tradition. Including a translation of Pawo Rinpoche's commentary on the knowledge section of Śāntideva's The Entrance to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life (Bodhicaryāvatāra). Nitartha Institute Series.

Even in those who lack afflictions. [45]

Brunnhölzl 2004

The Center of the Sunlit Sky

– La libération vient de la in des émotions négatives :

Elle s’impose dès leur cessation. – La force des actes est encore visible

Chez ceux qui n’ont plus d’émotions négatives.[p.173]La Marche vers l'Éveil (2007)

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

Decís que uno se libera en el mismo instante

en que abandona totalmente las emociones aflictivas. Pero sin embargo, el poder del karma todavía puede observarse

sobre aquellos que ya no tienen emociones aflictivas.

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

If liberated through abandonment of the afflictions,

One transforms immediately afterwards. Although not having afflictions,

One can see that their karma is still potent.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

If abandoning the defilements is freedom,

Then liberation would occur immediately after abandoning them. Even upon those who have no defilements,

Karmic consequences can be still seen to ripen.
