法苑珠林 37.42

37.42

又大悲經云。佛告阿難。若人樂著三有果報。於佛福田若行布施諸餘善根。願我世世莫入涅槃。以此善根不入涅槃。無有是處。是人雖不樂求涅槃。然於佛所種諸善根。我說是人必入涅槃也。

Furthermore, the Mahākaruṇā-sūtra says: The Buddha told Ānanda: "If a person delights in and is attached to the karmic fruits of the three realms of existence, yet within the Buddha's puṇyakṣetra practices dāna or any other roots of goodness, and makes the vow, 'May I, life after life, never enter nirvāṇa,' it is impossible that on account of these roots of goodness he will not enter nirvāṇa. Although this person does not delight in seeking nirvāṇa, because he has planted roots of goodness with the Buddha, I say that this person will certainly enter nirvāṇa."
