Great Being Treatise (大丈夫論)


施主體品第三

Chapter 3: The Giver's Body

受者得無量珍寶心大歡喜,施者行少施時心大歡喜,過於受者百千萬倍。能如是施者是為第一行。

The one who receives feels delighted, gaining countless treasures beyond measure. Yet the one who gives, even when offering just a little, feels delight that surpasses the recipient's by a hundred thousand, a million times. To give in this way is the highest form of giving.

成就救濟者, 飲大悲甘露,
菩薩行此行, 永除慳病老。
菩薩悲心以施為體,世間眾生以結使為體,純以眾苦以為一味,為得樂故行悲心施。日以照明為用,月以清涼為性,菩薩以悲為體,智慧及財施安樂於一切,如從歌羅邏乃至老時十時差別,雖至於老不捨嬰孩之相。菩薩虛渴施心救濟眾生亦不捨凡夫,離欲至於非想,不離凡夫之相;菩薩不捨施心救濟眾生亦復如是。欲除施渴當飲大施之水,施渴暫息餘渴不已,愛樂施故。一切眾生依食而存,大悲亦爾,依施而存。菩薩法身不依飲食而得存濟,大悲為食菩薩身存,悲心如火、欲施如飢,施與好食,菩薩樂與無有厭足。悲如大海施如沃焦,救濟心為水如沃焦吞流。欲向菩提以眾生為伴、悲心為體,施無厭足,如海吞眾流無有止息。
一切眾生來, 各各索異物,
菩薩皆施與, 心無有疲惓。
諸苦惱眾生, 盡皆為除滅,
設有未除者, 心無有厭足。

All beings come forth, Each asking for something different; The bodhisattva gives to them all, With a heart that never tires.

For all suffering beings, They entirely remove their pain; If any suffering remains, Their heart knows no weariness.
