遊心安樂道 1.37

1.37

隨事發心有可退義，不定性人亦得能發；順理發心即無退轉，菩薩性人能乃得發。如是發心功德無邊，設使諸佛窮劫演說，彼諸功德猶不能盡。正因之相，略說如是。

Generating the mind in accordance with phenomena admits of retrogression; people of indeterminate nature are also able to generate it. Generating the mind in conformity with principle is non-retrogressing; only people of the bodhisattva nature are able to generate it. The merit of generating the mind in this way is boundless; even if all Buddhas were to expound it for exhaustless kalpas, those merits could not be exhausted. The characteristics of the primary cause are briefly stated thus.
