When bodhisattvas manifest taking birth, it is not with craving as the root; rather, solely with great compassion to bring benefit to people, wishing to carry out transformation through teaching, they must manifest taking birth, appearing identical to ordinary persons, engaging in identical activities to benefit beings. Therefore the Vimalakīrti [Sūtra] says: 'Because sentient beings are sick, the bodhisattva is sick.' 'Manifesting,' etc., shows the depth of compassion. 'Not with craving' shows the depth of wisdom.
