法界次第初門 3.166

3.166

一、大慈。佛住大慈心中，以大慈善根力故，能實與一切眾生世間樂及出世間樂，故云慈能與樂。若四無量中慈，雖心念與樂，而眾生實未得樂，故不名大也。有二種與樂：一住大慈三昧，慈力冥熏，隨所應得樂眾生各得安樂；二慈三昧力普現三業，隨有應得樂眾生見聞知者，各獲安樂。故名大慈，即是如意珠王身也。

First, great benevolence. The Buddha abides in the mind of great benevolence, and by the power of the wholesome roots of great benevolence, he can genuinely bestow worldly happiness and supramundane happiness upon all sentient beings; hence it is said that benevolence can bestow happiness. As for the benevolence within the four immeasurables, although there is the mental intention to bestow happiness, sentient beings do not actually obtain happiness; hence it is not called 'great.' There are two kinds of bestowing happiness: first, abiding in the samādhi of great benevolence, the power of benevolence secretly perfumes them so that sentient beings obtain peace and happiness according to what they ought to attain; second, the power of the benevolence samādhi universally manifests through the three karmas, so that any sentient beings who ought to attain happiness obtain peace and happiness upon seeing, hearing, or knowing [him]. Hence it is called great benevolence; this is the body of the wish-fulfilling jewel king.
