妙法蓮華經玄義 3.165

3.165

'The precepts endowed with dedication toward the unexcelled path' mean that the bodhisattva, within all precepts, is endowed with the four universal vows and the six pāramitās, making vows with resolute mind and dedicating them toward bodhi; therefore, they are called the Mahāyāna precepts. The great vows are as explained before. Regarding the six pāramitās: loathing [the worldly life] and leaving the household, abandoning what one cherishes, is dāna; not violating even a minute fraction, resisting the rākṣasas, is śīla; being able to restrain body and mind and patiently endure beatings and scoldings is patience with beings; enduring the eight winds, cold and heat, greed and anger, is patience with phenomena; that craving and views cannot harm [one] is kṣānti; guarding the precepts so that a mind to transgress does not arise is vīrya; holding fast to the precepts with firm resolve, not deceived by doubts, with single-minded unshakeability, is dhyāna; clearly understanding cause and effect, knowing that the precepts are the foundation for rightly conforming to liberation, generating all noble persons of the three vehicles, and are not the sixty-two views or the precepts of chickens, dogs, and the like, is prajñā.
