Venerable Jing Yuan: Bodhisattvas' Aspiration to Benefit Others 净远法师:菩萨利他的行为
Bodhisattvas’ Aspiration to Benefit Others
With an aspiration to benefit others, Bodhisattvas do not expect to be repaid in gratitude, nor hope their kindness to be reciprocated.
If a person bites the hand that feeds and hurts Bodhisattvas, Bodhisattvas will summon stronger compassion instead, and forgive him with greater magnanimity.
If one day, the person mends his ways, to the extent of embarking on the journey of cultivation to liberate himself from sufferings, Bodhisattvas will be wholeheartedly filled with joy.

菩萨利他的行为
菩萨利他的行为，不会指望他人回报感激，也不会期望他人善待。
若有人恩将仇报，反过来伤害菩萨，菩萨心中只会生出更强烈的慈爱，会用更大的力度宽容他。
若有一天，他改邪归正，乃至走上修行解脱之路，菩萨必会感到满心的欢喜。
