四安樂行者,舊云:一、假實二空為體,二、說法為體,三、離過為體,四、慈悲為體。基師云:一、空,二、離憍慢,三、除嫉妬,四、大慈悲。龍師云:一、身遠諸惡漸近空理,二、除口過,三、除意嫉,四、起慈悲。南岳師云:一、無著正慧,二、口不說過,三、敬上接下,四、大慈悲。天台師云:止觀慈悲,導三業及誓願,身業有止故離身麁業,有觀故不得身,不得身業不得能離,無所得故不墮凡夫;有慈悲故勤修身業廣利一切,不墮二乘地,有止行故著忍辱衣,有觀行故坐如來座;有慈悲故入如來室,止行離過即成斷德,觀行無著即成智德,慈悲利他即成恩德,恩德資成智德,智德能通達斷德,是名身業安樂行。餘口意誓願亦如是。

Regarding the four practices of ease and joy, ancient teachers said: first, the two emptinesses of the provisional and real are the essence; second, preaching the Dharma is the essence; third, leaving behind faults is the essence; fourth, compassion is the essence. Master Ji said: first, emptiness; second, leaving behind arrogance; third, eliminating jealousy; fourth, great compassion. Master Long said: first, physically staying far from all evils and gradually drawing close to the principle of emptiness; second, eliminating verbal faults; third, eliminating mental jealousy; fourth, giving rise to compassion. Master Nanyue said: first, non-attached correct wisdom; second, not speaking of faults with the mouth; third, respecting superiors and welcoming inferiors; fourth, great compassion. Master Tiantai says: Cessation, contemplation, and compassion guide the three karmas and the vows. Because physical karma has cessation, one is free from the coarse physical karmas; because it has contemplation, one cannot apprehend the body, cannot apprehend physical karma, and cannot apprehend the ability to be free from it—because nothing is apprehended, one does not fall into [the state of] ordinary mortals; because it has compassion, one diligently cultivates physical karma to benefit all beings broadly and does not fall into the stage of the two vehicles. Because there is the practice of cessation, one puts on the robe of patience; because there is the practice of contemplation, one sits on the Tathāgata's seat; because there is compassion, one enters the Tathāgata's room. When the practice of cessation leaves behind faults, it accomplishes the virtue of severance; when the practice of contemplation is free from attachment, it accomplishes the virtue of wisdom; when compassion benefits others, it accomplishes the virtue of grace. The virtue of grace assists and accomplishes the virtue of wisdom, and the virtue of wisdom is able to penetrate the virtue of severance: this is called the practice of ease and joy of bodily karma. The remaining [three]—verbal, mental, and vows—are also like this.
