法苑珠林 71.47

71.47

如阿脩琴常自出聲。隨意而作。無人彈者。此亦無散心。亦無攝心。是福德報生故。隨意出聲。法身菩薩亦復如是。無所分別。亦無散心。亦無說法相。是無量福智因緣故。

Like the asura lute, which always emits sound on its own according to one's wish without anyone plucking it—this also has neither a scattered mind nor a concentrated mind, but because it is born of the retribution of merit, it produces sound according to one's wish. A dharmakāya bodhisattva is also like this: free from discrimination, without a scattered mind, and without the characteristic of expounding the Dharma, on account of the causes and conditions of boundless merit and wisdom.
