4.71

Eighth, guarding the true Dharma: formerly one destroyed good in oneself and also destroyed good in others; one did not rejoice in it oneself, nor did one rejoice for others. Now one guards all goods, expanding them through skillful means so that they are not severed, like the merit of defending an entire city. The Śrīmālā[devī-sūtra] says: 'Guarding the true Dharma and embracing the true Dharma are supreme.' This overturns and shatters the mindset lacking empathetic joy.
