- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.2.67)

「復次，以佛道樂涅槃之樂與一切人，是名大慈。行者思惟：『現在未來，大人行慈，利益一切，我亦被蒙，是我良祐，我當行慈，畢報施恩。』復更念言：『大德慈心，愍念一切，以此為樂，我亦當爾，念彼眾生，令得佛樂、涅槃之樂，是為報恩。』

> "Furthermore, bestowing the bliss of the Buddha Path and the bliss of nirvāṇa upon all beings is called great loving-kindness (mahāmaitrī). The practitioner contemplates: 'In the present and in the future, great beings practice loving-kindness and benefit everyone; I, too, am covered \[by it\], and they are my excellent benefactor. I ought to practice loving-kindness and fully repay their gracious gift.' Again he reflects: 'The loving-kindness of the venerable ones has compassionate regard for all beings and takes this as its bliss; I, too, should do likewise, having mindful concern for those sentient beings so that they attain the bliss of the Buddha and the bliss of nirvāṇa; this is to repay their kindness.'
