前中，將解先釋名體。體者景云：謂四無量慈悲喜捨。若眾生緣者，依小乘說唯假想觀，慈悲即用無恚為體，喜是喜根，捨是無貪，依大乘解通有假實，若初學菩薩為調心故假想修習，出體如前，若久學自在與樂拔苦能有實益，即用智慧為體，法緣無量，即用諸佛菩薩人空觀智以之為體，唯觀五蘊因緣假有畢竟無人，由此觀智說示有情令其同得，名為法緣四無量心。

Within the first [part], before explaining, it first clarifies the name and essence. Regarding the essence, Jing says: this refers to the four immeasurables—loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. If conditioned by sentient beings, according to the Hīnayāna explanation it is solely a conceptual meditation: loving-kindness and compassion take non-ill-will as their essence; sympathetic joy is the faculty of joy; equanimity is non-greed. According to the Mahāyāna explanation, it includes both the nominal and the real: if a beginner bodhisattva cultivates it conceptually to tame the mind, the identification of the essence is as above; if one who has trained for a long time has mastery, giving happiness and removing suffering can bring real benefit, taking wisdom as its essence. The immeasurable conditioned by dharmas takes the wisdom of contemplating the emptiness of persons cultivated by all Buddhas and bodhisattvas as its essence, contemplating only that the five aggregates exist nominally through causes and conditions and that there is ultimately no person; through this contemplative wisdom, one expounds and demonstrates this to sentient beings so that they attain it together, which is called the four immeasurable minds conditioned by dharmas.
