第二捨彼凡夫之人不善之慈,得如來慈。彼闡提等何處有慈而言捨乎?解云:此等同類同行,亦相親愛名為慈矣。問曰:菩薩云何已得如來之慈?於佛深慈,隨分剋證,故名為得。問曰:所得如來之慈,與前句中菩薩之慈有何差別?解言:順化巧益之義是菩薩慈,行非通道名如來慈,故《維摩》中菩薩行非名通佛道。

The second is abandoning that benevolence of ordinary persons' unwholesome [actions] and attaining the Tathāgata's benevolence. Where do those icchantikas and the like have benevolence, such that it speaks of abandoning it? The explanation says: those of the same kind and the same conduct also feel affection for one another, which is called benevolence. Question: How has the bodhisattva already attained the Tathāgata's benevolence? Toward the Buddha's profound benevolence, he verifies and realizes it according to his capacity; hence it is called attaining it. Question: What is the difference between the Tathāgata's benevolence that is attained and the bodhisattva's benevolence in the preceding phrase? The explanation states: the meaning of according with transformation and skillfully benefiting is the bodhisattva's benevolence; practicing what is non-path as the path is called the Tathāgata's benevolence. Therefore, in the *Vimalakīrti*, the bodhisattva's practicing what is non-path is called penetrating the Buddha path.
