| English | In the same way, if there is no other method of benefiting sentient beings, a fault arisen from attraction is said not to be a fault. As the Skill in Means Sūtra explains at length, a bodhisattva is like a whore, and after having benefited sentient beings, has equanimity and leaves them behind.20Probably a reference to the passage translated by Tatz 1994, p. 36, as follows: "Son of the family, he is like a courtesan who is learned and proficient in the sixty-four arts. Desiring money, she will yield and display her body to a man and not withhold anything necessary until she has obtained money from him. And after she has obtained what she wants, she will ignore him and reject him, not giving him another thought, and she will have no regard for him at all. In the same way, son of the family, the Bodhisattva who is skilled in means, knows how to bring sentient beings to maturity with that skill in means. He takes pleasure in the stores of merit of sentient beings, and in doing so, he withholds nothing, and he adapts himself to sentient beings until he has displayed the yielding of his own body. When the time comes that he knows, ‘At last, these sentient beings have developed stores of merit, and there is nothing more that I can do for them,’ he proceeds to ignore them, leaving them without another thought." But this should be understood to refer to those who are practicing the Six Perfections and have attained the Stages, and not to others.xxxIn this passage, there is a doctrinally crucial difference between Skt. alabdha-bhūmeś, "those who have not attained the Stages," and Tib. sa thob pa, "those who have attained the Stages." Like Tsong kha pa, I have chosen to follow the far superior reading in Tib. See Harvey 2000, p. 140. The sentence that immediately follows, I cannot interpret, and Skt. and Tib. seem very different: Skt. āstāṃ prāsaṅgikam; Tib. de ltar zhar la 'ongs pa yin te re zhig gzhag go.[p.167]The Training Anthology of Śāntideva |
