2.83

又《十住論》云:「若人發心求佛,不休不息,有人以指舉大千世界在空劫住,不足為難;若發願言,我當作佛,是人希有。何以故?世人心劣,無大志故。」

Furthermore, the Daśabhūmika Vibhāṣā states: 'If a person arouses the mind to seek Buddhahood without rest or cessation, for someone to lift the great trichiliocosm with a finger and abide in empty space for a kalpa would not be difficult; but if one makes the vow, saying, "I shall become a Buddha," such a person is rare. Why is this? Because worldly people have inferior minds and lack great resolve.'
