注維摩詰經 7.102

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [7.102](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.102)

什曰：如二禪中自欣離下地故生喜，亦於諸善及實法深心愛樂發大歡喜，以此自娛外無餘欣。喜為樂具，其諭如妻也。肇曰：法喜，謂見法生內喜也。世人以妻色為悅，菩薩以法喜為悅也。生曰：妻以守節為欣，失節則憂。喜於法者，此之謂也。

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: Just as in the second dhyāna one delights in being free from the lower stages and thus joy arises, one also with a deep mind loves and takes pleasure in all wholesome things and true dharmas, giving rise to great delight, entertaining oneself with this without any other external pleasure. Since joy is an instrument of pleasure, it is compared to a wife. \[Seng\]zhao says: Joy of the Dharma means perceiving the Dharma and producing internal joy. Worldly people take pleasure in the beauty of a wife; the bodhisattva takes pleasure in the joy of the Dharma. \[Dao\]sheng says: A wife rejoices in maintaining chastity and grieves when losing chastity. Taking joy in the Dharma is just like this.
