豈有無慈悲名菩薩耶?答:慈悲無異,俱化眾生,期心早晚有殊耳。故《大論》四十五又云「有先自成就功德然後度眾生者,有先成就眾生後自成功德者。」今彼菩薩即是先自成後度生。一往對此土菩薩,即當先成就眾生人也。二往此土具有二人,即三根出假是也。今彼國菩薩則當真出假人。
Can one be called a bodhisattva if one lacks compassion? Answer: Their compassion is no different, and both transform sentient beings; it is merely that their intended schedule differs in being earlier or later. Therefore, the Dàzhìdù lùn, fascicle 45, also states: "There are those who first achieve merits for themselves and afterward save sentient beings, and those who first achieve [the salvation of] sentient beings and afterward achieve merits for themselves." Now those bodhisattvas are precisely those who first achieve [merits] for themselves and afterward save sentient beings. Taking a preliminary view in contrast to the bodhisattvas of this land, [the latter] correspond to those who first achieve [the salvation of] sentient beings. Taking a further view, this land has both kinds of persons, which refers to those of the three faculties who emerge from emptiness into the provisional. Now the bodhisattvas of that land correspond to those who truly emerge into the provisional.
