法华经第十六品有这一段 Excerpts from Lotus Sutra Chapter 16: 我常知众生、行道不行道、 随应所可度、为说种种法、 每自作是念、以何令众生、 得入无上道、速成就佛生。 Always I am aware of which living beings practise the way, and which do not, and in response to their needs for salvation I preach various doctrines for them. At all times I think to myself : How can I cause living beings to gain entry into the unsurpassed way and quickly acquire the body of a Buddha?
