1.273

欲牽者,愛色貪聲莫知其止,既無自利何能愍他?知足者有二利:一不為五欲所牽,是自利;二能愍他,是利他。心既憐愍,必當教誨。《老子》云「不善人者,善人之資。」

Those dragged by desire love forms and crave sounds without knowing where to stop; since they have no self-benefit, how could they pity others? One who is content has two benefits: first, not being dragged along by the five desires is self-benefit; second, being able to pity others is benefiting others. Since the mind pities, one will certainly instruct them. Laozi says: “The unvirtuous person is the resource for the virtuous person.”
