跋陀和菩薩我欲樂說菩薩妙行有八事。何等為八？一者菩薩處於五滓世界，拔濟眾生不生疲厭；二者見諸眾生興起福事，營護佐助不生穢心；三者見人為惡敦喻訶諫令得捨離；四者有犯難者拯濟憐愍如母愛子；五者有來求者不惜身命；六者有犯難處扶侍携接令得脫難；七者見邪見人憐愍敦喻令得正見；八者鞠育眾生猶如赤子，所有功德悉持施與，共用迴向無上菩提。是為菩薩八事利益無量眾生。

Bhadrapāla Bodhisattva [said]: "I wish to explain that the wondrous practices of a bodhisattva comprise eight things. What are the eight? First, the bodhisattva dwells in worlds of the five corruptions and delivers sentient beings without growing weary. Second, seeing sentient beings initiate meritorious deeds, he protects, assists, and aids them without giving rise to an impure mind. Third, seeing people commit evil, he earnestly admonishes and reproves them, causing them to abandon it. Fourth, when there are those who meet with disasters, he delivers them with compassion as a mother loves her child. Fifth, when there are those who come asking, he does not spare his own body or life. Sixth, where there are situations of danger, he supports, attends, and guides them, causing them to escape danger. Seventh, seeing people of wrong views, he has pity on them and earnestly persuades them, causing them to attain right view. Eighth, he nurtures sentient beings just as if they were infants, taking all of his merit to give to them, dedicating it together with them toward unsurpassed bodhi. These are the eight things of a bodhisattva that benefit limitless sentient beings."
