佛遺教經論疏節要 1.286

1.286

〔補註〕利他名為菩薩，獨善號曰聲聞。云何樂眾乃云受惱？答：子輿氏云：「人之患，在好為人師。」解云：學問有餘，人資於己，不得已而應之。若好為人師，所以成患。則彼之患生於好，今之患生於樂也。不然，自利利他作一株大樹，與天下人歇陰涼去，是名大利，何患之有？

[Supplementary note:] Benefiting others is called a bodhisattva; practicing goodness alone is called a śrāvaka. Why then does taking pleasure in crowds mean receiving vexation? Answer: Master Mencius said, “The trouble with people is that they like to be masters of others.” The explanation says: when one's learning has surplus and people rely on oneself, one responds out of necessity. If one likes to be a master of others, that is how it becomes a trouble. Thus that trouble arises from liking, while the present calamity arises from taking pleasure. Otherwise, benefiting oneself and benefiting others, becoming a single large tree to provide shade and cool for the people of the world—this is called great benefit; what calamity could there be?
