6.127

"Contributory cause": namely, the five [pāramitās] such as giving and morality, which serve as supporting conditions for that prajñā. "Assisting" means supporting; supporting the power of that primary cause, severing afflictions and accomplishing bodhi. It is like a lamp being able to dispel darkness and reveal space, which must rely on the wick and oil as contributory conditions.
