大乘起信論略述 1.44

1.44

論。三者用大至善因果故　述曰。然用有二。一者因用。內外凡聖菩薩利益。二者果用。佛果三身普別勝益。此用能發有漏善者名生世間善因果也。能發眾生無漏善者名出世間善因果也。此因果益用起自真善無不生故名用大。

[Treatise:] The third is the greatness of function […] because of wholesome causes and fruitions. [Exposition:] However, function has two kinds: first, causal function, which benefits ordinary beings, noble ones, and bodhisattvas, both internally and externally; second, fruitional function, which provides the universal and distinct superior benefits of the trikāya of the Buddha-fruition. When this function can generate wholesome [states] with outflows, it is called generating mundane wholesome causes and fruitions. When it can generate wholesome [states] without outflows in sentient beings, it is called transmundane wholesome causes and fruitions. Because these benefits of cause and fruition, these functions, arise from true goodness and there is nothing they do not generate, it is called the greatness of function.
