〈菩薩地〉云:若諸菩薩具五種相,眾德相應,能為善友,所作不虛。一者於他先欲求作利益安樂;二者於彼利益安樂,如實了知,無顛倒覺;三者於彼善權方便,順儀說法,隨眾堪受,調伏事中有能有力;四者饒益心無厭倦;五者具足平等大悲,於諸有情劣中勝品,心不偏黨。若諸菩薩成就五相,令善友性作信依處,令他遠聞極生淨信,何況親覩。一者勝妙,威儀圓滿寂靜,具足一切支分,皆無躁動。二者敦肅,三業現行無掉無擾。三者無矯,不為誑他故思詐現嚴整威儀。四者無嫉,終不於他所得利養恭敬,生不堪忍,而常請說,後勸於彼,廣施恭敬。無諂偽心,見彼說法及利恭敬,深生隨喜,如自所得。五者儉約,尠儲隨捨。
The *Bodhisattvabhūmi* states: If bodhisattvas possess five characteristics, corresponding to manifold virtues, they can act as kalyāṇamitras whose deeds are not in vain: first, they initially seek to bring benefit, peace, and bliss to others; second, they know that benefit, peace, and bliss as it truly is, without inverted perception; third, they possess skill in means for their sake, preaching the Dharma in accord with proper manner, matching the capacity of the assembly, having competence and power in tasks of taming; fourth, their mind of benefiting others knows no weariness; fifth, they are endowed with equal great compassion, their minds without bias toward the inferior, middling, or superior classes of sentient beings. If bodhisattvas accomplish five characteristics, they make the nature of a kalyāṇamitra a basis of faith, causing others who hear from afar to generate supreme pure faith, not to mention those who see them in person: first is excellence, their deportment being complete and tranquil, all bodily parts being endowed [therewith] without restlessness; second is gravity and solemnity, the active manifestations of their three karmic modes being without agitation or disturbance; third is honesty, not deliberately fabricating and displaying a severe deportment in order to deceive others; fourth is absence of jealousy, never being unable to endure the gain, support, and respect received by others, but rather constantly requesting them to speak and subsequently encouraging others to extend widespread respect toward them; free from hypocrisy, upon seeing others preaching the Dharma and receiving profit and respect, they deeply rejoice as if it were what they themselves had attained; fifth is frugality, storing little and relinquishing as appropriate.
