大般涅槃經義記 6.137

6.137

自下第二次明行修次第成義，初先略辯，「迦葉言」下問答廣顯。略中十階，始從持戒乃至見性，准下少一得大涅槃，通彼合有十一階矣。此十一中，前十是因，後一是果。就前十中，初四是其戒學差別，次二是定，後四是慧。然今文中先明持戒，次即就戒結異世間，後明不悔乃至見性，下復就之結異世間。

From here below, the second part clarifies the meaning of the gradual accomplishment in practice. First, it explains it briefly; from "Kāśyapa said" downward, it is revealed extensively through question and answer. In the brief explanation there are ten stages, beginning from upholding precepts up to seeing the nature; based on what follows, it lacks one—attaining the Great Nirvāṇa—so including that, there are eleven stages in all. Among these eleven, the first ten are causes and the last one is the fruit. Within the first ten, the first four are the distinctions of the training in precepts, the next two are concentration, and the last four are wisdom. However, in the present text, it first clarifies upholding precepts, next concludes on the difference from the world with respect to precepts, and afterwards clarifies non-regret up to seeing the nature, below again concluding on the difference from the world with respect to them.
