6.366

述曰：理實無瞋，體是實有，不害依無瞋一分，拔苦之義勝故，假立不害。問：前大悲以無瞋、癡二法為體，今何故獨言不害？彼據實體，此約假成。又彼是大悲，此但是悲，四無量攝。問：何不於無貪等上建立？答：為顯功德中慈、悲二相別，故依無瞋假立，不依無貪等。問：諸功德等，如勝處等亦以無貪為性，何以善中不依無貪之上，為顯功德別故，別立一假法也？答：一切功德依聖人勝，於聖人身佛為最勝，佛身之中利樂有情勝，利樂之中慈、悲二種最勝。為顯極勝功德別故，依無瞋立不害，非無貪等。《顯揚》第二云：喜是不嫉，何故立不為善根？答：拔苦悲勝，別立不害。喜不勝悲，不立不嫉。

The Commentary states: In principle, non-ill-will has a substantially existent entity. Non-harming is nominally established based on a part of non-ill-will, because the sense of relieving suffering is superior. Question: Previously, great compassion had the two factors of non-ill-will and non-delusion as its entity; why is non-harming spoken of alone here? That was based on the substantial entity, whereas this concerns a nominal formation. Moreover, that was great compassion, whereas this is merely compassion, subsumed under the four immeasurables. Question: Why is it not established upon non-greed and the like? Answer: In order to show the distinction between the two marks of loving-kindness and compassion among virtues, it is nominally established on non-ill-will, not on non-greed and the like. Question: For virtues such as the bases of mastery, they also take non-greed as their nature; why is a separate nominal factor not established upon non-greed in wholesomeness to show the distinction of virtues? Answer: All virtues rely on the superiority of noble persons; among the persons of noble ones, the Buddha is supreme; within the Buddha's person, benefiting and bringing joy to sentient beings is supreme; and within benefiting and bringing joy, loving-kindness and compassion are the two most supreme. In order to show the distinction of these most supreme virtues, non-harming is established based on non-ill-will, not on non-greed and the like. The second fascicle of the Prakaraṇāryavācā says: 'Sympathetic joy is non-envy.' Why is non-envy not established as a wholesome root? Answer: Compassion, which relieves suffering, is superior, so non-harming is separately established; sympathetic joy is not superior to compassion, so non-envy is not established.
