大般涅槃經義記 6.49

6.49

就後五中，初一知其修心次第、次一知其所依之人、次二知其所修行業、後一知其所依之法。就初修心次第之中，「心」是眾生信樂之心，「根」是眾生大小乘根，依此所生世俗善法名為「禪定」，依此所生出世聖道說以為「乘」，此四知人修心次第始終相成，故合為一。其次一門，所依人中「若知識」者，知佛菩薩為善知識。其次兩門，所修行中，初「若持戒」知其戒行，下說其有身戒、心慧，今略舉戒。言「若施」者，知其施行，末後所少。若說一門知行依法。

Regarding the latter five [gates]: the first is knowing the sequence of cultivating the mind; the next is knowing the person to rely upon; the next two are knowing the practices and deeds that are cultivated; the last one is knowing the Dharma to rely upon. Regarding the first, the sequence of cultivating the mind: "mind" is the sentient being's mind of faith and joy; "faculties" are the sentient being's faculties of the Mahāyāna or Hīnayāna; mundane wholesome dharmas generated by relying on these are called "dhyāna-concentration"; the supramundane noble path generated by relying on these is called the "vehicle." These four know a person's sequence of cultivating the mind as mutually accomplishing from beginning to end, and hence they are combined into one. Next, the one gate concerning the person to rely upon: "if [they know] spiritual friends" means knowing the buddhas and bodhisattvas as good spiritual friends. Next, the two gates concerning what is cultivated: first, "if [they know] upholding precepts" means knowing their conduct in precepts—it explains below that there are bodily precepts and mental wisdom, but here it briefly mentions precepts. The phrase "if [they know] giving" means knowing their practice of giving, which is slightly lower down. The one gate "if [they know] teaching" means knowing practice that relies upon the Dharma.
