勸發菩提心集 1.33

1.33

《如無盡意經》有三十二喻，菩薩有四樂：一思利樂，謂思惟於利他時。二得方便樂，謂至得巧方便時。三解義樂，謂解了大乘意時。四證實樂，謂證入法無我時。若人棄捨眾生趣向寂滅，應知是人不得菩薩如是四樂（此說不發心菩薩過）。

As in the *Akṣayamatinirdeśa-sūtra*, there are thirty-two similes. The bodhisattva has four delights: first, the delight of contemplating benefit, which refers to the time when one contemplates benefiting others; second, the delight of obtaining skillful expedients, which refers to the time when one attains skillful expedients; third, the delight of understanding the meaning, which refers to the time when one thoroughly understands the meaning of the Mahāyāna; fourth, the delight of realizing reality, which refers to the time when one realizes and enters into the selflessness of dharmas. If a person abandons sentient beings and heads toward quiescence, one should know that this person does not obtain these four delights of a bodhisattva (this explains the fault of a bodhisattva who does not arouse bodhicitta).
