Avatamsaka Sutra 2011-12-24

Ten grounds chapter, 3rd ground, p.48,49 "This is how the Bodhisattva diligently seeks the Buddha dharma. In his search he does not cling to any of his treasures or wealth, nor does he see any object too rare or special to renounce. He considers truly special only someone who is able to explain the Buddha Dharma.Therefore the Bodhisattva can renounce all inner and outer wealth in his search for the Buddha Dharma. He can show any manner of reverence; he can swallow any amount of pride; he can offer any kind of service; and he can endure any kind of pain and toil." 十地品,第三地,第48,49頁 "菩薩如是勤求佛法，所有珍財皆無吝惜，不見有物難得可重，但於能說佛法之人生難遭想。是故，菩薩於內外財，為求佛法悉能捨施。無有恭敬而不能行，無有憍慢而不能捨，無有承事而不能作，無有勤苦而不能受。"
