妙法蓮華經玄義 4.25

4.25

Furthermore, the eight liberations contemplate the four stations of mindfulness; the nine successive absorptions refine the four stations of mindfulness; the swift-pounce perfumes the four stations of mindfulness; the transcendent cultivates the four stations of mindfulness. The two vehicles cultivate these five dhyānas for their own extinction, accomplishing the four withered stations of mindfulness, which is not called the stage of forbearance. The bodhisattva, in order to transform sentient beings, deeply contemplates the stations of mindfulness, with loving-kindness, compassion, and vows shouldering sentient beings, accomplishing the four flourishing stations of mindfulness; this is the Mahāyāna, called the stage of forbearance.
