金剛般若經贊述 2.88

2.88

佛告須菩提：「善男子、善女人發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心者，當生如是心，『我應滅度一切眾生。滅度一切眾生已，而無有一眾生實滅度者』。何以故？須菩提！若菩薩有我相、人相、眾生相、壽者相，則非菩薩。」

The Buddha told Subhūti: "Those good men and good women who generate the mind for anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi should give rise to such a mind: 'I must bring all sentient beings to final nirvāṇa. Yet when all sentient beings have been brought to final nirvāṇa, not a single sentient being has in reality been brought to final nirvāṇa.' Why is this? Subhūti! If a bodhisattva has the mark of a self, the mark of a person, the mark of a sentient being, or the mark of a soul, then they are not a bodhisattva."
