5.254

無有一法得菩提者。此約橫豎顯之。橫則於六度萬行之中,行行皆無得義,若布施得菩提,則不要戒忍等。豎則初中後念,念念皆無得義,若初念得,何須念念相續等。如是橫豎心行之中,皆無得菩提義也。

"There is not a single phenomenon of attaining bodhi": this is revealed along the horizontal and vertical axes. Horizontally, among the six pāramitās and myriad practices, every practice lacks the meaning of attainment; if giving attained bodhi, then precepts, forbearance, and so forth would not be needed. Vertically, among initial, intermediate, and subsequent thought-moments, every thought-moment lacks the meaning of attainment; if the initial thought attained it, why would continuous thought-moments be necessary? Thus, across both horizontal and vertical minds and practices, there is never any meaning of attaining bodhi.
