7.89

爾時大迦葉歎言:善哉善哉。文殊師利!快說此語。誠如所言,塵勞之儔為如來種。我等今者不復堪任發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心,乃至五無間罪猶能發意生於佛法,而今我等永不能發,譬如根敗之士其於五欲不能復利。如是聲聞諸結斷者,於佛法中無所復益永不志願。

At that time, Mahākāśyapa praised [him], saying: "Excellent, excellent! Mañjuśrī, delightfully have you spoken these words. Truly it is as you say: the company of defiling toils is the seed of the Tathāgata. We now are no longer capable of producing the mind of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi; even those guilty of the five sins of immediate retribution can still give rise to the intention and give birth to the Buddha's teachings, whereas we now can never produce it. It is like a man of ruined faculties: with regard to the five desires he can no longer derive benefit. In this way, śrāvakas who have cut off all fetters no longer provide any benefit within the Buddha's teachings and never aspire to them."
