English	Therefore understand this well, And always labor for the benefit of beings. The Compassionate One farsightedly permits, To this end, even what has been proscribed.63According to Mahāyāna teaching, in extreme circumstances and when the motives are exclusively those of compassion, actions of body and speech (though not of mind), normally proscribed in the list of ten nonvirtues (see note 44) may be performed. Understanding and undertaking the disciplines of avoiding negative action and of accumulating virtuous action, one should abide with constancy and diligence in the discipline of bringing benefit to others. One must strive to achieve the welfare of others in a manner that is completely free from self-interest. To great Bodhisattvas, who labor in such a way and are completely free from selfish motives, the Buddha, greatly compassionate, allowed the seven negative actions of body and speech (which are forbidden at all times to practitioners of the lower vehicle and to novice Bodhisattvas). He did this because he saw that the sacrificing of trivial and ephemeral joys, and the provoking of lesser suffering can lead to lasting happiness and to the removal of greater suffering. This may be illustrated by the story of Captain Goodheart who killed Black Spearman in order to protect him from falling into hell, or by the story of the young brahmin Tararamana who wedded a merchant’s daughter in order to protect her from the horrors of death. It is said that, by their actions, both these Bodhisattvas gained a degree of merit that otherwise would have taken many kalpas to accumulate.142See Treasury, p. 195.
