釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 6.52

6.52

復次，如人火熱，身受苦惱，若得清冷之水，火苦即滅，歡樂便生。如人現受貧困，以是因緣，慳貪造惡，若給施珍寶，教修布施行善，則現在離於貧弊，身心慶快，未來之世長受安樂。

'Furthermore, just as when a person suffers bodily distress from burning heat, if they obtain cool water, the suffering of the fire is immediately extinguished and delight and joy arise. Just as when a person presently suffers from poverty and hardship, and on that account is stingy, greedy, and commits evil; if one gives them precious gems and teaches them to practice giving and perform good, then in the present they will be freed from the degradation of poverty, their body and mind will be elated, and in future lives they will long enjoy peace and happiness.
