In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraṚṇapatra (ऋणपत्र) [=ṛṇapattra?] refers to the “page on which debts are recorded”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 19).—The comparison of action to a contract, a debt, is used by the Sāmmitīyas to illustrate their doctrine on the ‘non-cessation’ (avipraṇāśa) of actions; cf. Madh. vṛtti, p. 317–318: “When action arises, it engenders a non-cessation (avipraṇaśa) of itself in the series of the agent, an entity dissociated from the mind and comparable to the page on which debts (ṛṇapattra [ṛṇapatra?]) are recorded. Therefore we know that the avipraṇaśa is like the page and the action giving rise to this entity called avipranaśa is like the debt. And just as a rich man does not lose his money when he lends it because the debt is written down on the page, just as he will recover his money five-fold at the desired time, so the action that has ceased, being recorded in the avipranaśa entity, brings the proper fruit to the agent. [...]”.
