菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 1.77

1.77

"Or at times a bodhisattva enters the samādhi of sympathetic joy, pervading the west throughout infinite, immeasurable, asankhyeya realms, equal to the sands of the Ganges, toward the categories of sentient beings, mindfully rejoicing over sentient beings, wishing to bring about their liberation. Taking one grain of sand from the sands of the Ganges, passing sands of the Ganges and then depositing one grain, in this way exhausting the sands of the Ganges, their mind of sympathetic joy is not exhausted; if those sentient beings enter joy to amuse themselves, this is all due to the bodhisattva's firm resolve, immediately accomplishing the unsurpassed Path within the womb.
