讚曰:自下第二正顯所說法門。六度不同,隨成六段。施中有五:一位施、二義施、三法施、四財施、五總無畏施。其實五施一一竝得多果,此中且說五相似果。若捨榮貴位而修正法,當得成佛為三界法王。由施義味順於理故,當來希願悉皆滿足。因以法施,當能達解一切佛法。財食因施充益三業,故於當來得樂三業。若以種種財法等施者,謂以財法攝取眾生令其無畏,名無畏施。《菩提心經》說:願行財施,要有五種:一至心、二信心、三隨時、四自手、五如法。如有頌言「施者殊勝信等具足,恭敬應時自手施」等。又有頌言「利他加行於有情,不簡有力及無力,於一切時一切施,隨力所能廣饒益。」不應施有五:非理財不應施,不淨故;酒及毒不應施,亂生故;罝羅機網不應施,惱生故;刀杖弓箭不應施,害生故;音樂女色不應施,壞淨心故。施有五利:一常近賢聖、二眾生樂見、三入眾宗敬、四好名流布、五作菩提因。無著菩薩說「謂修六種意樂:一廣大、二長時、三歡喜、四荷恩、五大志、六純善。於此六中起三作意:一愛重、二隨喜、三欣樂。」聞此六種,但當能起一念信心,尚能發生無量福聚,諸惡業障亦當銷滅,何況菩薩。
The Commentary says: From here on, the second [part] directly reveals the dharma gate that was spoken. As the six pāramitās are different, they accordingly form six passages. Within giving, there are five: first, the gift of position; second, the gift of meaning; third, the gift of Dharma; fourth, the gift of material wealth; and fifth, the general gift of fearlessness. In truth, each of the five gifts brings multiple fruits, but here only five corresponding fruits are mentioned. If one renounces an exalted and noble position to cultivate the true Dharma, one will attain Buddhahood as the Dharma King of the three realms. Because giving the flavor of the meaning accords with principle, all future hopes and wishes will be satisfied. Through the gift of Dharma, one will be able to fully comprehend all Buddhadharmas. Because gifts of material wealth and food enrich the three karmas, one will in the future attain pleasure in the three karmas. Regarding 'if through various gifts of wealth, Dharma, and so forth,' this means that using wealth and Dharma to gather sentient beings and render them free of fear is called the gift of fearlessness. The Bodhicitta-śāstra states that to vow to practice the gift of material wealth, there must be five things: first, with utmost sincerity; second, with faith; third, at the proper time; fourth, with one's own hands; and fifth, in accordance with the Dharma. As a verse says: 'A giver possessed of excellent faith and so on / reverently, at the proper time, gives with his own hands,' and so forth. Another verse says: 'In altruistic practice toward sentient beings, / without distinguishing the capable and incapable, / at all times, in all giving, / according to one's power, extensively bring great benefit.' There are five things that should not be given: wealth contrary to principle should not be given, because it is impure; liquor and poisons should not be given, because they give rise to disorder; snares, traps, mechanisms, and nets should not be given, because they give rise to distress; knives, staves, bows, and arrows should not be given, because they give rise to harm; music and female beauty should not be given, because they ruin the pure mind. Giving has five benefits: first, always being near the worthy and noble; second, being pleasing for sentient beings to see; third, being respected when entering assemblies; fourth, having a good reputation spread abroad; and fifth, serving as a cause for awakening. Bodhisattva Asaṅga said: 'Cultivate six kinds of intention: first, vast; second, long-enduring; third, joyful; fourth, bearing gratitude; fifth, great resolve; and sixth, pure goodness. Toward these six, arouse three kinds of attention: first, cherish and respect; second, rejoice; and third, take delight.' If upon hearing of these six, one can arouse even a single thought of faithful mind, one will still generate an immeasurable accumulation of merit, and obstacles from evil karma will also be eradicated, how much more so for a bodhisattva.
