折疑論 2.248

2.248

孟子所謂好貨財私妻子者不孝也。而我沙門。棄妻捐財。於是道也。可謂符合矣。奚反以不孝而見責也。夫學佛者。了世道之浮脆。明時事之臧否（臧善也。否惡也。虛偽不實謂之脆謂學佛者。先了世道不實不堅之事。然後而明察乎當時事務善惡之理也）。

Mencius spoke of 'being fond of goods and wealth and partial to one's wife and children' as being unfilial. But our śramaṇas abandon wives and forsake wealth; in this Way, they can be said to accord with it! Why, on the contrary, are they blamed for being unfilial? Those who study the Buddha understand the transient fragility of the ways of the world, and clearly distinguish the good and bad of the affairs of the times. (Zang means good; fou means bad. What is false and unsubstantial is called 'fragile.' It means that those who study the Buddha first understand the unreal and unsubstantial affairs of the ways of the world, and afterwards clearly examine the principles of good and evil in the affairs of the present.)
