摩訶止觀 1.68

1.68

《淨名》云：「其子得病，父母亦病。」《大經》云：「父母於病子，心則偏重。」動法性山、入生死海，故有病行、嬰兒行，是名感應發心也。

The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa says: 'Because the child is sick, the parents are also sick.' The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: 'Toward a sick child, the parents' hearts are especially partial.' Stirring the mountain of dharmatā and entering the sea of birth-and-death, there are therefore the practice of sickness and the practice of infants; this is called generating the resolve through stimulus and response.
