涅槃經云。一惡欲。若比丘欲為一切大眾上首令一切僧隨我令四眾皆供養恭敬讚歎尊重我若為說法皆信受令我大得衣食屋宅等。二大欲。若比丘生欲心當令四眾知我得初住乃至四無礙智為利養故。三欲欲。若比丘欲生梵天乃至剎利家得自在故。

The Nirvāṇa Sūtra states: "First, evil desire: if a monk desires to be the leader of all assemblies, to cause all the sangha to follow him, to cause the fourfold assembly to make offerings, respect, praise, and honor him, and if he preaches the Dharma, that all will believe and accept it, and to cause himself to obtain copious robes, food, dwellings, and so forth. Second, great desire: if a monk gives rise to a desire, wishing to cause the fourfold assembly to know that he has attained the first stage up to the four unobstructed knowledges, for the sake of gain and offerings. Third, desire for desires: if a monk desires to be born in the Brahmā heaven, or into a Kṣatriya family, for the sake of attaining sovereignty."
