注維摩詰經 8.162

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [8.162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.162)

什曰：薰義有三，一大悲果報、二悲心所念、三以慈眼視之。生曰：使人得悟，為外薰也，豈曰食能大悲力矣。然則飯之為氣，大悲所薰矣。

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: The meaning of 'perfuming' has three aspects: first, the retribution-fruit of great compassion; second, being minded with compassionate intent; third, beholding them with the eye of benevolence. \[Dao\]sheng says: Causing people to gain awakening is external perfuming; how could one say that the food itself has the power of great compassion? Yet the fragrance of the food is perfumed by great compassion.
