生命之樹結的果共有五種，分別是異熟果、等流果、士用果、離系果、和增上果。

Tree of Life bears five kinds of fruits, namely, Mutant Fruit, Equal Stream Fruit, Warrior’s Usage Fruit, Off-is Fruit, and Escalator Fruit.

10.6.1 異熟果 Mutant Fruit

異熟，是無意識的主要特性。變異即是成熟，因為變異可以持業。業是身口意的行為習慣。現在的身口意行為是過去積累的業的現行，所以業就是身口意的行為。異熟果是說無意識收集來的諸法種在生活中受薰染而成長，異類、異地、異時而成熟。什麼是諸法種子？如本章生命之樹所談的五位百法就是。什麼是異類？如本章的百法就是眾生被分成了五位，每位法中還有分位，都可以認為是彼此各異的類。什麼是異地？如插圖10.6.2-23至31所示的九地各異。什麼是異時而熟？任何一個行為，其異熟果可能三個月後成熟，也可能三年後成熟，也可能十年、三十年後成熟。

無意識自是自果；異熟果是無意識自體變異的體現。無意識的異熟果一但成熟，許多異熟果流出如同瀑布的水流，恆相續，可以保持有情的身命和業，因此有情有了命根和業力。在因果關係的分析中，異熟自成一類，異熟果的原因是異熟。

Mutation is the main characteristic of unconsciousness. Mutation is ripening because it can keep karma. Karma is the behavioral habits of the body, mouth, and intention. The present behaviors of body, mouth, and intention are the performance of karma accumulated in the past, so karma is the bodily orally and intentional behavior. Mutant Fruits means that the juristic seeds collected by unconsciousness grow in life by being fumigated, and ripen in different species, in different places, at different times. What are the juristic seeds? As for the “5 positions 100 laws” explained in the Tree of Life, all are juristic seeds. What is the said different species? As for the 100 laws in the chapter are all sentient, are categorized into five positions, and more sub-positions, what can be viewed as such a few different sentient species. What is the said different locations? As for any behaviors of present, their mutant fruits may ripen at any heartlands in illustration 10.6.2-23 to 31. What is the said different time? As for any behavior, its mutant fruit may ripen in 3 months, in 3 years, in 10 years, or in 30 years.

Unconsciousness self is the self-fruit; the mutant fruit is the manifestation of unconsciousness’ mutation. As soon as the mutant fruits in unconsciousness are ripe, many of them flow out like waterfall streams, constant and continuous, which can maintain the body's life and karma, and thus sentient beings have their life root and karmic power.  In the analysis of causality, mutant fruit is in a category of its own, the cause of mutant fruit is mutation.

10.6.2 等流果 Equal Stream Fruit

果與因相似，同類或相似的果法，前法為後法開導，持續不斷地從生命之樹中流出，被稱為等流果。前法為後法開導是說，前善果引後善法相繼，被牽引的後果與前因相似；前無記業引流後無記業同類跟隨；前念惡行招引後面的惡業相繼，果似因而流出。此果雖然是以前意識為主導，聖人說，應當考慮這是心整體的功能，八種識中都有等流果。

Fruits are like causes, same category or similar fruit laws, the former leading the latter, continually flowing out from Tree of Life are named as Equal Stream Fruit. The former leading the latter is saying that former benevolent fruits lead succeeding benevolent laws, the being led latter fruits and the former causes are similar; former memory-less karma draws the flow of the latter memory-less karma of the same kind to follow; the front ferocious spells of ferocious behaviors attract the evil karma that follows, the fruits are similar to the reasons, hence flowing out. The fruits are dominated by preconscious-ness though, sages say, it should be considered that this is a function of the heart (i.e., mind) as a whole and that there are Equal Stream Fruits in all the eight senses.

在因果關係的分析中，等流因由三種因構成：遍行因、相應因、同類因。遍行因是說心所有法中的五位遍行法，無處不在，可以為因。相應因，例如，當前意識生起時，與其相應的18位心所有法（參見識蘊）會相應而起；當意識升起時，與其相應的51位心所有法也會伺機而動；當行舍時，無意識（古作神識，亦作福）會出現。同類因，意處（即前意識）中的勝者招引分布在三界九地（如圖10.6.2）的同類來分食可愛果。

廣義上講，等流果亦是異熟果。五果中的異熟果、士用果和增上果，都可以通攝一切因果。五果的區分需從依處着眼：習氣依處得異熟果；隨順依處得等流果；士用依處得士用果；真見依處得離系果；所余依處得增上果。

In the analysis of causation, equal stream causes consist of three kinds of causes: omnipresent migration cause, correspondence cause, and same category cause. The omnipresent migration cause means that the five Omnipresent Heartland Laws (cf. section 10.4.4.1.1) are ubiquitous and can be the causes. Corresponding causes, e.g., when preconsciousness arises, its corresponding 18 associative heartland laws (cf. sense node) will arise; when intent-sense (i.e., consciousness) rises, its corresponding 51 correlative heartland laws (cf. sense node) will also be waiting for the opportunity to move; and when acting renunciation, unconsciousness (anciently known as God-sense, Fortune) will appear. Same category causes are such as victors in preconsciousness attract the same kinds of interests distributed in the three boundaries nine heartlands (see figs. 10.6.2) to partake of the lovely fruits.

In a broader sense, equal-stream fruits are also mutant fruits. Among the five fruits, mutant fruit, warrior’s usage fruit, and escalatory fruit, each can assimilate all causalities. To distinguish the five fruits, should look at the dependent places: dependent place of habits, life tree bears mutant fruits; dependent place of obedience, life tree bears equal-stream fruits; dependent place of warrior’s usage, life tree bears warrior’s usage fruits; dependent place of true view, life tree bears off-is fruits (i.e., liberation fruit); all other dependent places, life tree bears escalatory fruits.
