勸發菩提心集 3.53

3.53

若諸菩薩欲聽法時，作五種想，應從善友聽聞正法：一、作寶想，難得義故；二、作眼想，能得廣大俱生妙慧，因性義故；三、作明想，已得廣大俱生慧眼，於一切種，如實所知，等照義故；四、作大果勝功德想，能得涅槃及三菩提無上妙迹，因性義故；五、作無罪大適悅想，於現法中，未得涅槃及三菩提，於法如實簡擇。止觀無罪大樂，因性義故。若諸菩薩欲從善友聽聞法時，於說法師，由五種處，不作異意，以純淨心，屬耳聽法：一、於壞戒不作異意，謂不作心：「此是破戒，不住律儀，我今不應從彼聽法。」二、於壞族不作異意，謂不作心：「此是卑姓，我今不應從彼聽法。」三、於壞色不作異意，不作心：「此是醜陋，我今不應從彼聽法。」四、於壞文不作異意，謂不作心：「此於言詞不善藻飾，我今不應從彼聽法，但依於義不依於文。」五、於壞語不作異意，謂不作心：「此語麁惡多懷忿恚，不以美言宣說諸法，我今不應從彼聽法。」

When bodhisattvas wish to listen to the Dharma, they should produce five notions and listen to the true Dharma from a good friend: 1. produce the notion of a jewel, because of its rarity; 2. produce the notion of an eye, because it serves as the cause for obtaining vast, innate wonderful prajñā; 3. produce the notion of light, because having obtained the vast, innate eye of prajñā, it equally illuminates what is to be known in all its modes in accordance with reality; 4. produce the notion of great fruit and surpassing virtues, because it serves as the cause for attaining nirvāṇa and the unsurpassed, wondrous traces of the three bodhis; 5. produce the notion of blameless, great delight, because in the present life, though one has not yet attained nirvāṇa and the three bodhis, one discerns dharmas in accordance with reality, serving as the cause for the blameless, great bliss of śamatha and vipaśyanā. When bodhisattvas wish to listen to the Dharma from a good friend, they should not harbor divergent thoughts toward the Dharma master in five respects, but listen to the Dharma attentively with a purely clean mind: 1. not harboring divergent thoughts regarding broken precepts, meaning not thinking, 'This one has broken precepts and does not abide by the precepts of restraint; I should not listen to the Dharma from them'; 2. not harboring divergent thoughts regarding low lineage, meaning not thinking, 'This one is of base clan; I should not listen to the Dharma from them'; 3. not harboring divergent thoughts regarding flawed appearance, not thinking, 'This one is ugly; I should not listen to the Dharma from them'; 4. not harboring divergent thoughts regarding flawed phrasing, meaning not thinking, 'This one is unskilled at embellishing words; I should not listen to the Dharma from them'—relying solely on the meaning and not on the phrasing; 5. not harboring divergent thoughts regarding flawed speech, meaning not thinking, 'This one's speech is harsh and full of wrath, not expounding the dharmas with pleasant words; I should not listen to the Dharma from them.'
