大乘起信論義記 3.136

3.136

能起厭苦之心，信有涅槃，修習善根。以修善根成熟故，則值諸佛菩薩示教利喜，乃能進趣向涅槃道。

"[Sentient beings] are able to give rise to a mind that is weary of suffering, believe that nirvāṇa exists, and cultivate good roots. Because their cultivation of good roots matures, they encounter Buddhas and bodhisattvas who show, instruct, benefit, and gladden them, so that they can advance toward the path to nirvāṇa."
