4.264

肇曰:夫以方會人,不可一息期;以財濟物,不可一時周。是以會通無際者彌綸而不漏、法澤冥被者不易時而周覆,故能即無疆為一會而道無不潤、虛心懷德而萬物自賓,曷為存濡沫之小惠、捨夫江海之大益,置一時之法養而設前後之俗施乎?

[Seng]zhao says: To gather people by physical direction cannot be achieved in a single breath; to relieve beings with material wealth cannot be accomplished comprehensively at one time. Therefore, one whose comprehensive integration is boundless encompasses all without omission; one whose rain of Dharma is secretly bestowed covers all without changing time. Thus he can treat the boundlessness as a single assembly so that the Way enriches all, and keeping the mind empty while harboring virtue, the myriad beings naturally yield allegiance. Why cling to the petty favor of moistening with foam and abandon the great benefit of the rivers and seas, setting aside the instantaneous Dharma offering to arrange a mundane giving of before and after?
