妙法蓮華經玄義 4.32

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.4.32)

然菩薩於一一禪中，隨所入法門，慈悲眾生，如父母得食，不忘其子。愍傷痴闇，不從內自求樂，從他外求，耽荒五欲，求苦得怖失憂，諸欲無樂，為此起悲。夫欲患如是，何能去之？得禪定樂，則不為所欺，是故起慈。有四弘誓也。

> Moreover, within each and every dhyāna, according to the dharma gate entered, the bodhisattva has loving-kindness and compassion for sentient beings—just as parents obtaining food do not forget their children. Pitying those in ignorance and darkness who do not seek bliss inwardly within themselves but seek it outwardly from others, indulging in the five desires, seeking suffering, fearing loss and grieving, where all desires have no bliss—for this reason they give rise to compassion. Seeing that the afflictions of desire are like this, how can they be removed? By attaining the bliss of dhyāna concentration, they will not be deceived by them; therefore they give rise to loving-kindness. There are four universal vows.
