勸發菩提心集 1.4

1.4

菩薩有六波羅蜜多種姓相，由此相故，令他了知真是菩薩。且施種姓相者，謂諸菩薩本性樂施，於現堪施，無間平等，喜施無悔。雖少能均，廣大非小。若無物施，深懷慚恥。於他常好讚勸令施，見能愛悅。於應供養，恭敬奉施。於此他世，無罪利事。若請不請，如理為說。若有怖於王賊水火，施以無畏。能於極怖，隨力拔濟。受他寄物，未甞差違。若負他債，終不抵拒。於共財所，無欺網心。得大財寶，尚不貪著，何況小利。如是等名施種姓相。

A bodhisattva has the characteristic marks of the gotra of the six pāramitās, and by these marks, others are made to know that they are truly a bodhisattva. To begin with, as for the marks of the gotra of giving: bodhisattvas by their very nature delight in giving; regarding what is presently fit to give, they give continuously and impartially, delighting in giving without regret. Although having little, they are able to share equally; [their gifts are] vast and not petty. If they have nothing to give, they harbor deep shame and embarrassment. Toward others, they constantly like to praise and encourage giving, and are pleased and gladdened to see it. Toward those who should be offered to, they respectfully present gifts. In this and other worlds, [their giving is] a blameless and beneficial matter. Asked or unasked, they explain the Dharma in accord with principle. If there are those who fear kings, bandits, water, or fire, they bestow fearlessness upon them. Amid extreme terror, they pull them out and rescue them according to their ability. Entrusted by others with safekeeping, they have never failed or defaulted. If owing debts to others, they never repudiate them. Regarding shared wealth, they have no mind of deception. When obtaining great riches and treasures, they are still not greedy for them, much less for petty gain. Such things as these are called the characteristic marks of the gotra of giving.
