觀心論 1.2

1.2

問曰：佛經無量，論亦甚多，弘法之人詵詵蓋世，聽受之眾無處不有，是則法雨普津四眾，露潤利益無邊。何所見聞、更何利益而造斯論？

Question: The Buddhist scriptures are immeasurable, and the treatises are also very numerous. Those who propagate the Dharma are a multitude covering the world, and assemblies of those who hear and receive it are found everywhere. Thus the rain of Dharma universally moistens the fourfold assembly, and its dew-like nourishment brings boundless benefit. Having observed and heard what, and for what further benefit, do you compose this treatise?
