大乘起信論義記 1.81

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.1.81)

總中離一切苦者，謂令有情離三苦二死故。得究竟樂者，令得無上菩提大涅槃樂等。非求世間名利等者，有二釋：一、非欲令其求於後世人天利樂等故。二、論主自云「我為益生，故造斯論，非為名利」等。此之一門通於一切菩薩之心，非局此論，故云總相。又通此一部論為發起之由，故云因緣總相也。

> In the general \[mark\], "free from all suffering" means causing sentient beings to be free from the three sufferings and two kinds of death. "Attain ultimate joy" means causing them to attain the joy of unsurpassed bodhi, the great nirvāṇa, and so forth. "Not seeking worldly fame, profit, and so forth" has two explanations: 1. it is not with the wish to cause them to seek benefits and joys of future lives among humans and devas; 2. the author of the treatise states himself: "I compose this treatise to benefit beings, not for the sake of fame and profit," and so forth. This single approach pervades the minds of all bodhisattvas and is not restricted to this treatise; hence it is called the "general mark." Moreover, it runs throughout this entire treatise as the reason for its undertaking; hence it is called the "general mark of the causes and conditions."
