9.224

肇曰:二乘以無常為無常,故厭有為善法;以苦為苦,故惡生死苦;以無我為無我,故怠於誨人;以寂為寂,故欲永寂。菩薩不以無常為無常,故能不厭善本;不以苦為苦,故不惡生死;不以無我為無我,故誨人不倦;不以寂為寂,故不永寂也。

[Seng]zhao says: The two vehicles take impermanence as impermanence, and therefore weary of wholesome conditioned dharmas; they take suffering as suffering, and therefore abhor the suffering of saṃsāra; they take non-self as non-self, and therefore grow weary of instructing people; they take quiescence as quiescence, and therefore wish for permanent quiescence. Bodhisattvas do not take impermanence as impermanence, and so are able not to tire of the roots of goodness; they do not take suffering as suffering, and so do not abhor saṃsāra; they do not take non-self as non-self, and so instruct people untiringly; they do not take quiescence as quiescence, and so do not permanently rest in quiescence.
