  • Avatamsaka Sutra 2011-12-24
    Ten grounds chapter, 3rd ground, p.48,49
    "This is how the Bodhisattva diligently seeks the Buddha dharma. In his search he does not cling to any of his treasures or wealth, nor does he see any object too rare or special to renounce. He considers truly special only someone who is able to explain the Buddha Dharma.Therefore the Bodhisattva can renounce all inner and outer wealth in his search for the Buddha Dharma. He can show any manner of reverence; he can swallow any amount of pride; he can offer any kind of service; and he can endure any kind of pain and toil."
    十地品,第三地,第48,49頁
    "菩薩如是勤求佛法，所有珍財皆無吝惜，不見有物難得可重，但於能說佛法之人生難遭想。是故，菩薩於內外財，為求佛法悉能捨施。無有恭敬而不能行，無有憍慢而不能捨，無有承事而不能作，無有勤苦而不能受。"

    "Then he thinks: the wish to take beings to nirvana is related to the unobstructed wisdom of liberation. Unobstructed wisdom of liberation is related to awakening to the reality of dharmas.Awakening to the reality of dharmas is related to the light of wisdom from cessation of action and creation. The light of wisdom from cessation of action and creation is related to investigation through the wisdom of clever, decisive contemplation.Investigation through the wisdom of clever, decisive contemplation is related to skillful learning."

    "便作是念：『欲度眾生令住涅槃，不離無障礙解脫智；
    無障礙解脫智，不離一切法如實覺；
    一切法如實覺，不離無行無生行慧光；
    無行無生行慧光，不離禪善巧決定觀察智；
    禪善巧決定觀察智，不離善巧多聞。』"

    Ten grounds chapter, 3rd ground, p.46,47
    "This is how the Bodhisattva grows weary of all conditioned things and abandons them.Thus he deepens his empathy for all beings as he recognizes the supreme benefits of omniscience.He resolves to take sentient beings across by means of the Tathagata’s wisdom and he reflects, "All these beings suffer greatly from their afflictions. What skillful means will work to release them from their pain, and bring them the bliss of ultimate nirvana?"
    十地品,第三地,第46,47頁
    菩薩如是厭離一切有為，如是愍念一切眾生，知一切智智有勝利益，欲依如來智慧救度眾生，作是思惟：『此諸眾生墮在煩惱大苦之中，以何方便而能拔濟，令住究竟涅槃之樂？』
