非凡夫行, 非贤圣行, 是菩萨行。
《维摩诘所说经》卷2
A bodhisattva’s behavior is neither the ordinary person’sbehavior nor the saint’s or sage’s behavior. It is thebodhisattva’s behavior.
Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra, Vol. 2

可是阿罗汉不知道如来藏的所在,只能看到五阴十八界;从五阴十八界的立场来看时,一定是有凡夫、也有贤圣。菩萨依如来藏来看时,就没有凡夫与贤圣可说;因为凡夫与贤圣都是五阴十八界的事情,与如来藏不相干。
《维摩诘经讲记》第三辑,页321
Arhats do not know where Tathagatagarbha is. They canonly see the five aggregates [skandhas] and the eighteensense-realms [eighteen dhatavahs]. When one observesfrom the viewpoint of the five aggregates and theeighteen sense-realms, definitely there are ordinarypeople, saints and sages. However, when bodhisattvasobserve from the viewpoint of the Tathagatagarbha,there is no ordinary person, saint, or sage. This isbecause ordinary people, saints and sages relate to thefive aggregates and the eighteen sense-realms, but there
is no ordinary person, saint, or sage in theTathagatagarbha.

导 师 法 语
◎ 真正的菩萨行,布施以后不要希望回报。你不希望回报,自然会有回报,又增加另一个功德;希望回报就没有功德,只剩下世间福德。
