妙法蓮華經玄義 8.152

8.152

七、善脩對治者，若利人即入，若不入者當修助道。故論云：十二禪等悉是助開門法，正慧既弱，遮障得起，修助道為援。論云：「貪欲起，教修不淨，背捨等；緣中不自在，當教勝處；緣中不廣普，當教一切處。若少福德，當教無量心；若欲出色，當教四空。」如是等悉是助道，助開門法，不同外道，於根本禪，起愛見慢也。

Seventh, skillfully cultivating antidotes: those with sharp faculties enter directly; if one does not enter, one should cultivate the auxiliary paths. Therefore, the treatise says: 'The twelve dhyānas and so forth are all dharmas that assist in opening the gate.' When correct wisdom is weak and obstructions can arise, one cultivates auxiliary paths as support. The treatise says: 'If sensual desire arises, teach the cultivation of impurity, the eight liberations, and so forth; if one lacks mastery in the objective realm, one should teach the eight bases of mastery; if the objective realm is not broad and universal, one should teach the totality bases. If one has little merit, one should teach the immeasurable minds; if one desires to transcend form, one should teach the four formless realms.' These and the like are all auxiliary paths, dharmas assisting to open the gate, unlike the non-Buddhists who give rise to craving, views, and arrogance regarding the fundamental dhyānas.
