萬善同歸集 3.85

3.85

答：「以其真實正直為先，慈悲攝化為道。以正直故，果無迂曲，行順真如；以慈悲故，不墮小乘，功齊大覺。以此二門，自他兼利。」

Answer: "Being true and upright is foremost, and gathering and transforming [beings] with compassion is the Way. Because one is upright, the result has no tortuous bends and practice accords with suchness; because of compassion, one does not fall into the Hīnayāna and one's merit equals the Great Awakening. Through these two gates, both self and others are benefited."
