大方廣佛華嚴經疏 37.14

37.14

四正釋文。即是行相三十七品，總有七類：一對治顛倒道，即四念處。二斷諸懈怠道，謂四正勤。三引發神通道，謂四神足。四現觀方便道，所謂五根。五親近現觀道，即是五力。六現觀自體道，謂七覺分。七現觀後起道，謂八正道。此七次者，若聞法已先當念持，次即勤修，勤故攝心調柔，調柔故信等成根，根增為力，次七覺分別，八正正行。有時八正在前，則未辦名道、已辦名覺。然上猶寄位。若約行者，初心通修，況入地菩薩。

Fourth, correctly explaining the text. These are the thirty-seven factors of the aspects of practice, comprising seven categories in total: first, the path that counters delusions, which is the four applications of mindfulness; second, the path that severs laxity, which is the four right strivings; third, the path that initiates spiritual powers, which is the four bases of psychic power; fourth, the path of expedient means for direct realization, which is the five faculties; fifth, the path that approaches direct realization, which is the five powers; sixth, the path of the essence of direct realization, which is the seven factors of awakening; seventh, the path arising subsequent to direct realization, which is the eightfold noble path. As for the sequence of these seven: having heard the Dharma, one should first mindfully retain it; next, diligently practice it; because of diligence, one gathers the mind into malleability; because of malleability, faith and the rest become faculties; as the faculties increase, they become powers; next, one discerns through the seven awakenings; and [finally] correctly acts through the eightfold noble [path]. Sometimes the eightfold noble [path] comes before: then what is not yet accomplished is called the 'path', and what is already accomplished is called 'awakening'. However, the above is still an allocation according to stations. If considered in terms of practitioners, beginners practice them comprehensively, not to mention bodhisattvas who have entered the stages.
