གཞན་ཡང་ང་ཡིར་འཛིན་པ་སྔོན་དུ་འགྲོ་བ་ནས། བྲན་ཕོ་དང་། བྲན་མོ་དང་། ལས་བྱེད་པའི་མི་སྦེད་པ་དང་། མངག་པ་དང་། ཀུན་ཏུ་སྲུང་བ་དེ་ནི་དོན་མེད་པས་ཡོངས་སུ་བསྐོར་བ་ཞེས་བྱའོ། ། དེ་ལ་དོན་གྱིས་ཡོངས་སུ་བསྐོར་བ་གང་ཞེ་ན། འདི་ལྟ་སྟེ། ལུས་དང་སྲོག་ལ་མི་ལྟའི། བྱང་ཆུབ་ཀྱི་ཕྱོགས་ཀྱི་ཆོས་ལ་ལྟ་ཞིང་བྱང་ཆུབ་ཀྱི་སེམས་སྔོན་དུ་འགྲོ་བའི་ལུས་ཀྱི་ལས་དང་། ངག་གི་ལས་དང་། ཡིད་ཀྱི་ལས་ཀྱིས་ཡོངས་སུ་བསྐོར་བ་དེ་ནི་དོན་གྱིས་ཡོངས་སུ་བསྐོར་བ་ཞེས་བྱའོ། །
“Furthermore, Śāriputra, the bodhisatva cultivates the following thought: ‘Alas! Sentient beings are completely caught up in meaningless activities and are far too concerned about their bodies and their lives. When one is engaged with what is meaningful, one will have no concern for one’s body or one’s life. What does being caught up in meaningless activities entail? It is to be concerned about one’s body and one’s life but to have no concern for the Dharma that leads to awakening. It is fostering the idea of ownership by being protective of one’s sense of self, being addicted to rubbing, massaging, bathing, and shampooing one’s body. This is what is meant by ‘being caught up in meaningless activities.’ Likewise, being caught up in meaningless activities is to be concerned about one’s body and one’s life but to have no concern for the Dharma that leads to awakening, fostering the idea of ownership by being protective of one’s wife, sons, daughters, friends, kinsmen, acquaintances, and relatives and being addicted to rubbing, food and drink, and so forth, and to all kinds of objects, pleasures, and possessions. This is what is meant by ‘being caught up in meaningless activities.’ Likewise, it is to foster the idea of ownership by keeping male and female servants, workers, and laborers, ordering them around and keeping them under guard. This is what is meant by ‘being caught up in meaningless activities.’
