2.341

饒益眾生而不望報。代一切眾生受諸苦惱。所有功德盡以施之 肇曰。菩薩代彼受苦不自計身。所有功德盡施眾生。豈以有益而想其報乎。若不為眾生應久入涅槃。為彼受苦令其先度。彼去我留非代。何謂此饒益之至。一法也。

"Benefiting sentient beings without expecting reward; suffering all afflictions in place of all sentient beings; and dedicating whatever merits one has entirely to them." / Zhao says: "The bodhisattva suffers on their behalf without consideration for their own person, bestowing all merits entirely on sentient beings. How could they, for benefiting them, think of any reward? Were it not for sentient beings, they would have long since entered nirvāṇa. Suffering for them to bring about their prior deliverance—they depart while I remain, which is no small substitution. What could surpass such utmost beneficence? This is the first dharma."
