7.158

什曰:行,自行也。以七財為本,又彼我兼利,復以此福迴向佛道,七財彌增則利之大也。肇曰:七財,信、戒、聞、捨、慧、慚、愧也。世人以玉帛為饒,菩薩以七財為富。出入法寶與人同利,兼示以滋息之法,令如說修行、迴向佛道,此利之大者也。生曰:如所說修行既收外益,而可以易得大寶,故為大利也。

[Kumāra]jīva says: 'Practice' is one's own practice. Taking the seven riches as the basis, one also benefits both self and others; furthermore, dedicating this merit toward the buddha-path, the seven riches increase even more, which constitutes the greatness of the profit.
[Seng]zhao says: The seven riches are faith, morality, learning, relinquishment, wisdom, shame, and conscience. Worldly people consider jades and silks to be abundance; the bodhisattva considers the seven riches to be wealth. Sharing the Dharma jewel with others in common profit, they also show them the method of multiplying interest, causing them to practice as preached and dedicate [merit] toward the buddha-path—this is the greatest of profits.
[Dao]sheng says: Practicing as preached both reaps external benefits and easily acquires the great jewel; therefore it is the great profit.
