瑜伽論記 10.144

10.144

第二明無經卷等，即觀察自心有三句。初二句中，云設我由此行法施故乃至況令闕乏妙智資糧者，泰云：假設由此法故即成癡瘂不忍法慳煩惱過故尚應法施，況復法施之時以自無法故令現在闕乏妙智資糧而不癡瘂不能施耶？今勘舊論云：我寧以法施現世癡瘂為除煩惱猶尚應施，況作來智慧方便。

Now, collating with the old treatise, it says: 'I would rather, through the gift of Dharma, be dumb and mute in the present life; in order to eliminate afflictions, one still should give, how much more so for the sake of future skillful means of wisdom?'
