2.116

"In this way, because the disciples fear saṃsāra, forms, sounds, scents, tastes, tangible objects, and phenomena take advantage of them." The second [part] matches the analogy. For a bodhisattva, saṃsāra is itself nirvāṇa; hence through great compassion he is fearless. For the Hīnayāna, saṃsāra is different from nirvāṇa; hence they fear saṃsāra. Furthermore, having discrimination, their habit-energy is not extinguished, and the six dusts take advantage. [Dao]sheng says: "If one dislikes something, what is liked takes advantage."
