菩薩瓔珞本業經 1.22

1.22

"Son of the Buddha! As for 'lineage', it refers to the lineage of practice, the nature lineage, the path lineage, the noble lineage, the equal enlightenment lineage, and the wondrous enlightenment lineage. They are also called the six firm states, called firm faith, firm dharma, firm practice, firm virtue, firm summit, and firm enlightenment. They are also called the six forbearances: the forbearance of faith, the forbearance of dharma, the forbearance of practice, the forbearance of correctness, the forbearance of stainlessness, and the forbearance of omniscience. They are also called the six wisdoms: wisdom from hearing, wisdom from thinking, wisdom from cultivation, signless wisdom, wisdom illuminating tranquility, and wisdom tranquil yet illuminating. They are also called the six concentrations: the concentration of practicing characteristics, the concentration of nature, the concentration of path wisdom, the concentration of path-species wisdom, the concentration of great wisdom, and the concentration of right contemplation. They are also called the six contemplations: the contemplation of abodes, the contemplation of practices, the contemplation of dedications, the contemplation of grounds, signless contemplation, and the contemplation of the knowledge of all aspects. Son of the Buddha! There is no bodhisattva or buddha who does not enter this dharma-gate of the six kinds of luminous contemplation, definitive, of ultimate meaning, and of the true mark.
