Summary: Ten grounds chapter, 3rd ground, p.46,47 "This is how the Bodhisattva grows weary of all conditioned things and abandons them.Thus he deepens his empathy for all beings as he recognizes the supreme benefits of omniscience.He resolves to take sentient beings across by means of the Tathagata’s wisdom and he reflects, "All these beings suffer greatly from their afflictions. What skillful means will work to release them from their pain, and bring them the bliss of ultimate nirvana?" 十地品,第三地,第46,47頁 菩薩如是厭離一切有為,如是愍念一切眾生,知一切智智有勝利益,欲依如來智慧救度眾生,作是思惟:『此諸眾生墮在煩惱大苦之中,以何方便而能拔濟,令住究竟涅槃之樂?』
