世尊！ 我从今日乃至菩提，若见孤独幽系疾病种种厄难困苦众生， 终不暂舍， 必欲安隐； 以义饶益令脱众苦，然后乃舍。
《胜鬘师子吼一乘大方便方广经》

World-Honored One! From now on, until theattainment of Buddhahood, if I see sentient beings whoare lonely, incarcerated, diseased, troubled, andafflicted by various misfortunes and hardships, I willnot forsake them for even a moment, and will committo their security and tranquility; I will leave them onlyafter having benefited them through the Dharma andliberated them from all their sufferings.
The Lion’s Roar of Queen Srimala, the single-vehicle greate xpedience, the corrective and extensive Sutra[Srimaladevi Simhanada Sutra]

因此，究竟的饶益，一定要透过法义上的饶益；而四摄法的布施、爱语等等，只是一个方便，所以最后还是要回归到佛法中。因此菩萨行四摄法时，应当方便置众生于佛法中；这就是以义饶益，使他们不但此世可以得脱众苦，而且在未来世也可以离开众苦；要能使他们得脱众苦之后，你才能舍弃他。如果你不能如此饶益他们，就不许舍弃他们。

Therefore, the ultimate benefit is certainly the benefitwhich comes through the Dharma (lit. the meaning ofthe Dharma). The practice of the four methods ofembracement – giving, using loving words, and soforth – is only an expedient method. Eventually onemust go back to the Buddha dharma. When abodhisattva practices the four methods of embracement, he or she should expediently guidesentient beings to live by the Buddha dharma. This ishe delivering of benefits through the meaning ofDharma, which relieves sentient beings from allsufferings not only in this life but also in future livesas well. Unless the bodhisattva can benefit them assuch, he or she should never forsake them.
