3.35

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.
