答：「《涅槃經》云：『一切眾生，有二種愛：一者善愛；二者不善愛。不善愛者，惟愚求之；善法愛者，諸菩薩求。』《華嚴經》云：『廣大智所說，欲為諸法本；應起勝希望，志求無上覺。』又云：『斷善法欲，是菩薩魔事。』是以入道之初，欲為道本；至其極位，法愛須忘。階降宛然，初後不濫。」

> Answer: "The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'All sentient beings have two kinds of attachment: first, wholesome attachment; second, unwholesome attachment. As for unwholesome attachment, only the foolish seek it; as for attachment to wholesome dharmas, the bodhisattvas seek it.' The Avataṃsaka Sūtra says: 'What the vast wisdom has taught is that desire is the root of all dharmas; one should generate supreme aspiration and resolve to seek unexcelled awakening.' It also says: 'To sever the desire for wholesome dharmas is the work of Māra for a bodhisattva.' Therefore, when first entering the path, desire is the root of the path; when reaching the ultimate stage, even attachment to the Dharma must be forgotten. The steps and gradations are distinct, and the beginning and end must not be confused."
