3.37

「受諸異道不毀正信」,受學異道,為欲伏物,故不毀正信者。內信無損,即用正法而度脫之。《大集》明如富樓那雖化外道反被譏呵,文殊示同而往化之。諸外道等過去亦經值佛聞法,內有善根,赴機引入不思議行,令成四土之因。

"He accepted non-Buddhist paths without damaging right faith": he received and studied non-Buddhist paths in order to subdue beings; therefore it says "without damaging right faith." With internal faith unimpaired, he then delivered them by means of the right Dharma. The Dàjí [jīng] explains that although Pūrṇa sought to transform non-Buddhists, he was instead ridiculed and rebuked, whereas Mañjuśrī manifested the same [form as them] and went to transform them. Those various non-Buddhists had also met buddhas and heard the Dharma in the past, possessing internal roots of goodness; responding to their capacities, he led them into inconceivable practice, causing them to form the cause of the four lands.
