萬善同歸集 2.33

2.33

問：「說法為人，雖成大業；未齊極地，恐損自行。登地菩薩，尚被佛訶；未證凡夫，如何開演？」

Question: "Expounding the Dharma for others, although it accomplishes a great enterprise, may perhaps harm one's own practice before one reaches the ultimate stage. Bodhisattvas who have ascended the bhūmis were still scolded by the Buddha; how can ordinary beings who have not yet attained realization expound and propagate it?"
