世尊！ 我从今日乃至菩提，不自为己受畜财物； 凡有所受， 悉为成熟贫苦众生。

《胜鬘师子吼一乘大方便方广经》

---------------------------------

World-Honored One! From now on until the time ofattaining Buddhahood, I will not accept oraccumulate any property for myself. All that Iaccept will be used only to mature the conditionsfor the poor and suffering sentient beings to move

towards Buddhahood.

---------------------------------

这意思就是说，必须破除掉自己的私心，才能在成佛之道上面迅速有所成就。这一个正受的想法就是要坏掉私心，凡是私心，全部要坏灭；因为如果不坏灭私心，连登地都不可能，更何况是成佛。所以为了摄受有情，要以这样的心态来作，不会对外财起贪心而永不满足。

《胜鬘经讲记》第一辑，页142-143

This means that only by eliminating one’s selfishnesscan one get quick achievement on the way toBuddhahood. Eliminating one’s selfishness is thecorrect way of thinking. All selfishness must beeliminated; otherwise, it is impossible for one to reachthe First Ground, not to mention becoming a Buddha.Therefore, in order to benefit and guide sentient beings,one must act with such a mindset so that one does nothave an insatiable greed for external assets.
