釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 6.39

6.39

無緣者，是慈但諸佛有。何以故？諸佛不住有為、無為性中，不依上、下、過去、未來、現在，知諸因緣為不實，顛倒虛誑，故心無所緣。佛以眾生不知是諸法實相，往來五道，心著諸法，而分別取捨，以是諸法實相智慧令眾生得之，是為無緣。譬如給濟貧人，或與財物、金銀、寶物，或與如意神珠。眾生緣、法緣、無緣亦復如是。此義如《摩訶衍》中廣說。

As for being without conditions: this benevolence belongs only to the Buddhas. Why? The Buddhas do not abide in conditioned or unconditioned natures; they do not rely on upper, lower, past, future, or present; knowing all causes and conditions to be unreal, inverted, false, and deceptive, their minds are without any conditions. The Buddhas, because sentient beings do not know this true nature of all phenomena, transmigrate through the five destinies, their minds attached to phenomena, making discriminations of grasping and rejection, use this wisdom of the true nature of all phenomena to cause sentient beings to attain it; this is called being without conditions. For example, in providing relief to poor people, one may give wealth, gold, silver, and jewels, or give a wish-fulfilling jewel. Being conditioned upon sentient beings, conditioned upon phenomena, and without conditions are also like this. This meaning is explained in detail in the Mahāyāna [Treatise].
