大般涅槃經義記 9.37

9.37

From here, the fifth clarifies the purpose of cultivation; it discusses concentration and wisdom, but briefly does not clarify equanimity. Cultivating concentration has three [purposes]: first, for non-negligence, suppressing afflictions; second, to adorn great wisdom, giving rise to wisdom based upon it; third, to attain sovereignty, initiating supernormal powers based upon it. Cultivating wisdom has three [purposes]: first, contemplating cyclic existence to know the faults of suffering; second, increasing all wholesome [qualities] to put an end to unwholesome karma; third, to destroy afflictions.
