釋摩訶衍論 8.8

8.8

本曰：何等信心？云何修行？略說信心有四種。云何為四？一者信根本，所謂樂念真如法故。二者信佛有無量功德，常念親近供養恭敬發起善根，願求一切智故。三者信法有大利益，常念修行諸波羅蜜故。四者信僧能正修行自利利他，常樂親近諸菩薩眾求學，如實行故。

The root [text] states: "What kind of faith is it? How does one cultivate practice? Briefly speaking, there are four kinds of faith. What are the four? First is believing in the fundamental, namely because one delights in being mindful of the dharma of tathatā. Second is believing that the Buddha possesses immeasurable merits, constantly being mindful of drawing near to, making offerings to, and revering [him], generating wholesome roots, and vowing to seek all-knowledge. Third is believing that the Dharma has great benefits, constantly being mindful of cultivating the various pāramitās. Fourth is believing that the Saṅgha can correctly practice to benefit oneself and benefit others, constantly delighting in drawing near to the assembly of bodhisattvas to seek instruction and practice in accordance with reality."
