大方便佛報恩經 7.27

7.27

「善男子！菩薩復有四事，勤修精進，破壞懈怠，莊嚴菩提，攝取眾生。為菩提道，令修精進；臥安覺安，離諸煩惱；增長善法，身受安樂，是名自利。菩薩精進，不惱眾生，打擲呵罵，是名利他。捨是身已，受人天樂，身得大力，獲菩提道，是名大果，是名菩薩精進四事。菩薩修定，破壞亂心，莊嚴菩提，攝取眾生。為菩提道，令修禪定，現受世樂，身心寂靜，是名知恩。以身心寂靜，故不惱眾生，是名報恩報恩。菩薩捨是身已，受清淨身，安隱快樂，得大涅槃，是名菩薩禪定四事。

"Good son! Bodhisattvas furthermore have four things: diligently cultivating vigor, destroying indolence, adorning bodhi, and gathering in sentient beings. For the sake of the path to bodhi, they cause [sentient beings] to cultivate vigor; their lying down is peaceful, their waking is peaceful, and they are free from all afflictions; wholesome dharmas increase, and their bodies experience peace and happiness—this is called benefiting oneself. The bodhisattva's vigor does not torment sentient beings by beating, hurling at, scolding, or reviling [them]—this is called benefiting others. Having relinquished this body, they experience human and celestial bliss, their bodies obtain great strength, and they attain the path to bodhi—this is called the great fruit. These are called the bodhisattva's four things of vigor. Bodhisattvas cultivate meditative absorption, destroy distracted minds, adorn bodhi, and gather in sentient beings. For the sake of the path to bodhi, they cause [sentient beings] to cultivate dhyāna; in the present [life] they experience worldly joy, and body and mind are tranquil—this is called knowing kindness. Because body and mind are tranquil, they do not torment sentient beings—this is called repaying kindness upon repaying kindness. Having relinquished this body, bodhisattvas receive pure bodies, secure, tranquil, and blissful, and attain great nirvāṇa—these are called the bodhisattva's four things of dhyāna.
