維摩經略疏 8.24

8.24

From "What is called... to no regret" is the third, asking about the mind of sympathetic joy. First the question, next the answer. The meaning of the question is as before. Second, as for Vimalakīrti's answer: rejoicing that these sentient beings are freed from the suffering of the two extremes and attain the bliss of the Middle Way is named sympathetic joy. If one rejoices with remainder or without remainder, there will later be regret. The Lotus Sūtra says: "harboring regret and thinking to oneself: I am old and decrepit, though I have much wealth." Now, having bestowed ultimate bliss, one rejoices without regret.
