大方便佛報恩經 2.56

2.56

The Buddha told Prītirāja: "The one who pulled the fire cart was none other than myself today. Because of generating the bodhimind, I quickly attained buddhahood. Therefore, you should know that when all sentient beings generate the bodhimind, the circumstances are not just one: some are moved by loving-kindness, some by anger; some by a generous mind, some by a stingy mind; some by joy, some by affliction; some by separation from loved ones, some by association with the hated; some by associating with good spiritual friends, some by bad companions; some by seeing the Buddha, some by hearing the Dharma. Therefore, you should know that all sentient beings' generation of the bodhimind differs from one to another. Prītirāja! You should know that a bodhisattva-mahāsattva's knowing of kindness and repaying of kindness are like this."
