釋摩訶衍論 8.27

8.27

已說直示修行止輪門，次說修行止輪得益門。謂若有人能修此定，漸漸轉轉，竭煩惱海、崩業障岳，入真如定，達一切法，到不退故。如本久習淳熟其心得住，以心住故漸漸猛利，隨順得入真如三昧，深伏煩惱、信心增長，速成不退故。

Having explained the gate of directly showing the practice of the wheel of calming, we next explain the gate of obtaining benefits from practicing the wheel of calming. That is, if a person can cultivate this concentration, gradually and progressively they will dry up the ocean of afflictions, collapse the mountain of karmic obstructions, enter the concentration of tathatā, penetrate all dharmas, and reach non-retrogression. As the root [text] states: “Through long practice and mellowed maturation, the mind attains stability; because the mind is stable, it gradually becomes sharp and powerful, and in accordance [with practice] it attains entry into the samādhi of tathatā, deeply subduing afflictions, increasing faith, and quickly achieving non-retrogression.”
