大乘入道次第開決 1.134

1.134

無間雜染法等者。深密經云。何等名為間雜染法。略有四種。一無悲加行故。謂行行時於諸有情無拔濟心。二不如理加行故。謂若修一波羅蜜時於餘失壞。三不常加行故。謂於所修波羅蜜中多有間斷。四不慇重加行故。謂修行時於前境界心生輕慢。離此四種。是名無間雜染法也。云何名為非方便行。謂但財施與生安樂。不行法施成勝利益。所以然者。非但與財名實饒益。唯處善法乃真益故。若離此事。是則名離非方便行。

Regarding "uninterrupted, defiling dharmas, and so forth": The Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra says: What are called interrupted, defiling dharmas? Briefly, there are four kinds: First, practice without compassion; this means that when carrying out practice, one has no intention to deliver sentient beings. Second, practice not in accord with principle; this means that when cultivating one pāramitā, one impairs the others. Third, practice that is not constant; this means that there are frequent interruptions in the pāramitā being cultivated. Fourth, practice that is not earnest; this means that when cultivating, one gives rise to contemptuous thoughts toward the objective realms before one. Freedom from these four kinds is termed "uninterrupted, [non-]defiling dharmas". What is termed "practice without skillful means"? It means merely giving material gifts to grant sentient beings comfort, but not practicing the gift of Dharma to achieve superior benefit. Why is this so? It is not merely bestowing wealth that is called truly benefiting them; only establishing them in wholesome dharmas is genuine benefit. If one is free of this [fault], that is called being free of practice without skillful means.
