大般涅槃經集解 52.16

52.16

Sengliang states: Nurturing bodhi relies on the four immeasurables. Baoliang states: This is the sixth group. Although the arousal of the mind was just explained, if one does not perform practices, then there is no way to attain the fruit. Now, explaining outward conversion, by conferring the four equanimities and three minds, one aspires that both oneself and others be equally at peace. If one cultivates this benevolence to completion, one ascends to the first ground. Although there are four differences, they generally constitute a single benevolence; it is merely explained according to stages from the perspective of a beginner's practice.
