5.134

什曰:令其推己而悲物也。當念言:我今微疾,苦痛尚爾;況惡趣眾生受無量苦也。肇曰:勸疾者,推己之疾愍於他疾也。生曰:我有智慧猶有疾苦,況乃不達者乎。推己愍彼是兼濟之懷,豈得自畏死焉?

[Kumāra]jīva says: Cause them to infer from themselves and have compassion for other beings. One should think: 'Even with my slight illness now, the pain is still like this; how much more so for sentient beings in the evil destinies who undergo immeasurable suffering!' [Seng]zhao says: This encourages the sick to infer from their own illness to have pity on the illnesses of others. [Dao]sheng says: 'Even I, who have wisdom, still have the suffering of illness; how much more so those who do not understand!' Inferring from oneself to pity others is the attitude of universal salvation; how could one fear death for oneself?
