20.169

下辨攝眾生戒，當觀六處。一、自；二、他；三、財衰，四、財盛，五、法衰；六、法盛。財盛，如文可解。法衰者，謂越所受者不得三學，於先未聞乃至不得聽聞於先未思不得思惟於未修證不得修證者，失三慧也，是即失於三學，失於三慧名為法衰，與此相違即名法盛。令他財盛，不應為者，菩薩為他經營財物給施眾生自失三慧及失三學，此不應為。如令財盛，法盛亦爾者，菩薩為他說法令他法盛，自失三學令自法衰，此不應為，乃至又諸菩薩作自財盛令他財盛此即應為者，不廢三學營事財物自足與人，亦即應為。如令財盛，法盛亦爾者，菩薩自令法盛令他法盛不失，作本此亦應為。又諸菩薩作自法盛，令他財盛，已下可解。

Next, analyzing the morality of gathering sentient beings: One should contemplate six situations: 1. oneself; 2. others; 3. decline in material wealth; 4. increase in material wealth; 5. decline in Dharma; 6. increase in Dharma. Increase in wealth is understandable according to the text. 'Decline in Dharma' means that by transgressing what was received, one does not attain the three trainings: from previously not having heard up to being unable to listen; previously not having reflected up to being unable to reflect; not having cultivated or realized up to being unable to cultivate or realize—this is losing the three wisdoms. That is, losing the three trainings and losing the three wisdoms is called 'decline in Dharma'; the opposite of this is called 'increase in Dharma.' That 'causing another's wealth to increase is something one should not do' means: if a bodhisattva manages wealth on behalf of others to bestow it on sentient beings, but thereby loses the three wisdoms and loses the three trainings oneself, this should not be done. 'Just as with causing wealth to increase, the same applies to causing Dharma to increase' means: if a bodhisattva explains the Dharma for others to cause their Dharma to increase, but loses the three trainings oneself and causes one's own Dharma to decline, this should not be done. Up to: 'Furthermore, if bodhisattvas cause their own wealth to increase and cause others' wealth to increase, this is something they should do' means: without neglecting the three trainings, managing wealth so that one is self-sufficient and gives to others is also something one should do. 'Just as with causing wealth to increase, the same applies to causing Dharma to increase' means: if a bodhisattva causes Dharma to increase for oneself and causes Dharma to increase for others without losing the fundamental practice, this also should be done. 'Furthermore, if bodhisattvas cause their own Dharma to increase and cause others' wealth to increase...' and what follows are understandable.
