維摩義記 3.33

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.33)

問曰：無人，云何慈念？諸眾生妄為我人，定所纏縛為之輪轉。深可哀傷，故得行慈。又如下釋「菩薩自念：為諸眾生說如斯法，是真行慈。」如是一切。

> Question: If there is no person, how can one have a benevolent thought? Various sentient beings falsely construct a self and a person, and being decisively bound thereby, transmigrate on its account. They are deeply pitiable, and therefore one can practice benevolence. Furthermore, as explained below: "The bodhisattva reflects to himself: 'Expounding such a Dharma for sentient beings is the true practice of benevolence.'" And so on for all of them.
