維摩義記 3.35

3.35

問曰：無法，云何行慈？解有兩義：一念眾生妄為有法之所纏縛不能出離，深可哀傷，故得行慈。二念為生說如斯法，即是第一義樂，與人，故得名慈。如是一切。

Question: If there are no dharmas, how can one practice benevolence? The explanation has two meanings: First, one considers that sentient beings are falsely bound by [the belief in] existent dharmas and cannot escape; they are deeply pitiable, and therefore one can practice benevolence. Second, one considers that expounding such a Dharma for sentient beings is giving the joy of ultimate truth to others, and therefore it can be called benevolence. And so on for all of them.
