注維摩詰經 1.62

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.62)

什曰：菩薩自有四無畏，非佛無畏也。恐畏之生生於不足，無不足故無畏。能說而不能行亦所以畏也，今能說能行故無畏也。能說能行，名曰法也。肇曰：菩薩別有四無畏，一得聞持總持、二知眾生根、三不見有能難己使己不能答者、四隨問能答善決眾疑。有此四德，故能映蓋大眾也。九十六種外道各有部眾，故言諸也。

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: Bodhisattvas have their own four fearlessnesses; these are not the fearlessnesses of a buddha. Fear arises from deficiency; having no deficiency, there is no fear. Being able to preach but unable to practice is also a cause of fear; now, being able to preach and able to practice, they are without fear. Being able to preach and able to practice is called the Dharma. \[Seng\]zhao says: Bodhisattvas have a separate four fearlessnesses: first, attaining dhāraṇī of hearing and retaining; second, knowing the faculties of sentient beings; third, not seeing anyone who can present a difficulty to oneself that one cannot answer; fourth, answering in accordance with questions and skillfully resolving all doubts. Possessing these four virtues, they can overshadow the great assemblies. The ninety-six kinds of heterodox paths each have their own assemblies, hence it says "all."
