法華文句記 9.52

9.52

「近近處」者，《大論》問：菩薩云何自靜等？《論》答云：如病將身等。具如《止觀》第四記。「三意云云」者，如向所列定心、定處、定門也。列竟即應廣釋廣簡，心謂能期之心，處謂五緣中處，門謂五事調心，未暇廣論，故二十五方便隨要列二，如是三法皆令親近。此約對前遠以說近，近此近法故云「近近」。

Regarding "approaching the sphere of intimacy": The Great Treatise asks: "How does a bodhisattva calm himself?" and so forth. The treatise answers: "Like an invalid tending his body," and so forth, fully as in the fourth fascicle of the Notes on the Zhiguan. As for "the three intentions, and so forth": as previously listed, these are the concentrated mind, the concentrated place, and the concentrated gate. Having listed them, one should then broadly explain and broadly differentiate them: "mind" means the mind capable of aspiration; "place" means the place among the five conditions; "gate" means regulating the mind through the five matters. Not having leisure to discuss them broadly, among the twenty-five expedient means he lists two in accordance with what is essential; such three dharmas are all to be approached closely. This explains intimacy in contrast to the previous distance; approaching this intimate dharma is therefore called "approaching intimacy."
