[以下是《往生论注》下卷最后七则问答的第三题，附加标题，为容易参考。
Below is the third of the last seven questions and answers in the Rebirth Treatise’s Commentary’s Lower Scroll, as titled for easier reference.]
[3] 无五逆罪而诽谤正法能生净土吗？
Can Those Without Heinous Transgressions But With Slander Of The Dharma Attain Birth In Pure Land?
问曰：假使一人具五逆罪而不诽谤正法，经许得生；
Question: If one person [is] compete [with the] Five Heinous Transgressions, yet not slandering [the] right Dharma, [the Contemplation] Sūtra allows attaining [of] birth.
复有一人但诽谤正法而无五逆诸罪，愿往生者，得生与不？
Again, [if there is] one person, [who] only slanders [the] right Dharma, yet [is] without [the] Five Heinous [and] many [other] transgressions, [can] that [person who] aspires [for] rebirth, attain birth or not?
答曰：但令诽谤正法，虽更无余罪，必不得生。何以言之？
Answer: Only causing slander [of the] right Dharma, although also without other transgressions, [one] definitely [will] not attain birth. Why [is it] with [this] said?
经言：五逆罪人，堕阿鼻大地狱中，具受一劫重罪。
People [with the] Five Heinous [Transgressions, will] fall [into the] Avīci Great Hell within, completely receiving one kalpa’s heavy transgressions’ [retribution].
诽谤正法人，堕阿鼻大地狱中，此劫若尽，复转至他方阿鼻大地狱中，如是辗转经百千阿鼻大地狱，佛不记得出时节，以诽谤正法罪极重故。
People [who] slander [the] right Dharma, [will] fall [into the] Avīci Great Hell within, [with] this kalpa if exhausted, again transferred [to] reach another direction’s Avīci Great Hell within, thus passing through [a] hundred thousand Avīci Great Hells, [with the] Buddhas not predicting [the] time [of] attaining exit, with slander [of the] Dharma’s transgressions extremely heavy thus.
又，正法者，即是佛法。此愚痴人既生诽谤，安有愿生佛土之理？
Also, that right Dharma, is the same as [the] Buddhas’ teachings. These ignorant people, since [having] given rise [to] slander [of them], how can [they have reason] of having Aspiration [to be] born [in the] Buddha’s land?
假使但贪彼土安乐而愿生者，亦如求非水之冰、无烟之火，岂有得理。
If only [with] greed [for] that land’s peace [and] bliss, then aspiring [for] birth, likewise [are] they like seeking of ice [that is] not water, fire [that is] without smoke. How can [these] be attained reasonably?
