大般涅槃經集解 9.24

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [9.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.9.24)

案僧亮曰：慈實不等，以二事為證。一以眾生不可等，謂破戒是也；二以菩薩慈事不等，力士所殺童子是也。承佛旨者，佛尚不等，況菩薩乎。僧宗曰：金剛即菩薩也。既承神旨，則二聖共殺，斯不等明矣。

> Sengliang comments: Benevolence is indeed not equal, proven by two matters: first, because sentient beings cannot be treated equally, meaning those who break the precepts; second, because the bodhisattva’s acts of benevolence are not equal, as seen in the boy killed by the wrestler. Regarding ‘following the Buddha’s intent’: if even the Buddha is not equal, how much less the bodhisattva! Sengzong comments: The vajra-deity is indeed a bodhisattva. Since he followed the divine intention, then the two sages joined in killing; thus that it is not equal is clear.
