起信論疏筆削記 19.18

19.18

四約雜行者亦二類：一、約福行者，謂性非質直，苟為姦計，共崇奇福，眩耀世人，招引重䞋，意在以少呼多，用此活命。既遂其所求，即恃此起慢，陵蔑餘人無利養者悉以為非。利養既爾，名聞亦然。此是賣佛法賊。出《迦葉經》。二、約餘行者，謂性非慧悟，隨學一法即便封著，眩此所學以招名利，撥餘修者皆非究竟。此亦愚人，蠹害佛法賊也。行人苟沾一患，宜深戒之。

Fourth, regarding practitioners of miscellaneous practices, there are also two classes: First, regarding practitioners of merit: this refers to those whose nature is dishonest, who engage in illicit schemes, joining together to extol extraordinary merit to dazzle worldly people and solicit heavy donations, intending to use the small to summon the large and make a living by this. Having fulfilled their desires, they then rely on this to give rise to conceit, looking down upon and scorning others who lack offerings as entirely wrong. As it is with material offerings, so it is with renown. These are thieves who sell the Buddhadharma. This comes from the Jiaye jing. Second, regarding practitioners of other practices: this refers to those whose nature lacks wisdom and awakening, who cling rigidly to whatever single practice they learn, making a display of what they have learned to attract fame and gain, and rejecting all other practitioners as non-ultimate. These too are foolish people, thieves who undermine and harm the Buddhadharma. If a practitioner should contract even one of these afflictions, one should take strict warning against it.
