Muditābhāvanākathā
（三）喜的修习
[(3) GLADNESS]
260. Muditābhāvanaṃ ārabhantenāpi na paṭhamaṃ piyapuggalādīsu ārabhitabbā. Na hi piyo piyabhāvamatteneva muditāya padaṭṭhānaṃ hoti, pageva majjhattaverino. Liṅgavisabhāgakālakatā akhettameva.
开始修喜的人，亦不应对爱的人等开始。因为爱者当然是爱者，故不是喜的足处（近因）至于中立者与怨敌更不必说了。异性与死者则绝对不是（喜梵住的）对象。
Ñ(IX,84): One who begins the development of gladness should not start with the dear person and the rest; for a dear person is not the proximate cause of gladness merely in virtue of dearness, how much less the neutral and the hostile person. One of the opposite sex and one who is dead are also not the field for it.
