子果

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: seed and fruit

Senses:

  • Seed-produced fruit is 子果, fruit-produced seed is 果子. The fruit produced by illusion in former incarnation is 子果, which the Hīnayāna arhat has not yet finally cut off. It is necessary to enter nirvana without remainder to be free from its 'fruit,' or karma. 〔五分律 T 1421.22.171a11, 瑜伽論 T 1579.30.304b4〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Soothill]
