Enduring suffering for the sake of the path will surely bring great benefit. Having thus consoled oneself, one should also be mindful of benefiting sentient beings so that they obtain this benefit. \[Seng\]zhao says: One should reflect that in past lives one endured immeasurable suffering; present suffering is momentary, so how is it worth grieving over? One must only exert oneself to rescue them from suffering. \[Dao\]sheng says: Being mindful of wishing to benefit all sentient beings, one then enters saṃsāra and cannot harbor fear. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.137](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.137) - [Next: 5.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.139) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.5.138) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.51) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.138) · Pramāṇa
