答：「因世慈而入真慈，從生忍而具法忍；學分初後，位豈濫陳？又生即無生，豈越性空之地？無為即為，寧逃實相之源？但取捨情亡，即真俗理見。故經云：『菩薩不盡有為，不住無為。』肇法師云：『有為雖偽，捨之則大業不成；無為雖實，住之則慧心不朗。』《華嚴經》云：『解如來身，非如虛空，一切功德，無量妙法，所圓滿故。』《大集經》云：『捨離大慈而觀無生，是為魔業；厭離有為功德，是為魔業。』」

> Answer: "Relying on mundane compassion, one enters true compassion; progressing from patience toward sentient beings, one becomes complete in patience toward dharmas. Study is divided into beginning and end; how could the stages be chaotically mingled? Moreover, arising is itself non-arising—how could it surpass the ground of nature-emptiness? The unconditioned is itself the conditioned—how could it escape the source of dharmatā? If only the sentiments of grasping and rejecting perish, the principle of the absolute and the conventional is seen. Thus a sūtra states: 'A bodhisattva does not exhaust the conditioned, nor does he abide in the unconditioned.' Master Zhao said: 'Though the conditioned is artificial, if one abandons it, the great enterprise cannot be accomplished; though the unconditioned is real, if one abides in it, the mind of wisdom will not be luminous.' The Avataṃsaka Sūtra states: 'Understand that the Tathāgata's body is not like empty space, for it is perfected by all meritorious qualities and immeasurable marvelous dharmas.' The Mahāsaṃnipāta Sūtra states: 'Abandoning great compassion to contemplate non-arising is the work of Māra; being repulsed by and abandoning conditioned merits is the work of Māra.'"
