1.125

按《顯揚》云：恭敬聽法，現在利益及安樂故。又作四句：一、利益非安樂，謂現順理精苦修道；二、安樂非利益，謂現違法受五欲樂；三、亦利益亦安樂，謂現以道而受於樂；四、非利益亦非安樂，謂除前相。又按《佛地論》亦有四句，現益名「義」，當益名「利」；世間名「義」，出世名「利」；離惡名「義」，攝善名「利」；福德名「義」，智惠名「利」。

According to the Prakaraṇāryavācā, reverently listening to the Dharma brings present benefit as well as bliss. It also forms four alternatives: 1. benefit but not bliss, meaning practicing the path in present times with diligence and hardship in accordance with reason; 2. bliss but not benefit, meaning enjoying the pleasures of the five desires in the present in contravention of the Dharma; 3. both benefit and bliss, meaning experiencing bliss through the path in the present; 4. neither benefit nor bliss, meaning excluding the previous characteristics. Furthermore, according to the Buddhabhūmy-upadeśa, there are also four alternatives: present assistance is called 'advantage' (artha), and future assistance is called 'benefit' (hita); the worldly is called 'advantage', and the supramundane is called 'benefit'; leaving evil is called 'advantage', and gathering good is called 'benefit'; merit is called 'advantage', and wisdom is called 'benefit'.
