6.153

[Kumāra]jīva says: In the present life one seeks no gratitude, and in the future life one seeks no retribution. When śrāvakas practice the four immeasurables, they cannot truly benefit sentient beings. Now when bodhisattvas practice the four immeasurables, they can truly benefit sentient beings; hence the four immeasurables are all called 'great.' [Seng]zhao says: Great compassion is an ascetic practice from which sorrow arises. Loving-kindness and joy are pleasant practices from which joy arises. Once sorrow and joy are displayed, affection and aversion will manifest. Therefore the practitioner relinquishes the practices of suffering and pleasure, contemplating sentient beings impartially. In the Mahāyāna's correct equanimity, practice and retribution are both obliterated, and so there is nothing hoped for. All three immeasurables are markless and objectless, proceeding together with loving-kindness. As the practice of loving-kindness has already been fully detailed, the rest can be known by analogy. [Dao]sheng says: Falsely imagining sentient beings in order to relinquish hatred and affection is not true equanimity. If one can refrain from hoping for the reward of merit, this is the culmination of equanimity.
