注大乘入楞伽經 8.225

8.225

初釋名中，先通名，後別稱。通名波羅蜜者，《唯識論》云「要七最勝之所攝受，方可建立波羅蜜多。一安住最勝，謂要安住菩薩種性；二依止最勝，謂要依止大菩提心；三意樂最勝，謂要慈愍一切有情；四事業最勝，謂要具行一切事業；五巧便最勝，謂要無相智之所攝受；六迴向最勝，謂要迴向無上菩提；七清淨最勝，謂要不為二障間雜，即三時無悔。」若七隨闕，非到彼岸，故此六度各四句分別。其別名者，輟己惠人曰施；防非止惡曰戒；堪受諸法未能忘懷名忍，此約生忍。又忍即忍可，忍即是慧，雙忍事理故。練心於法名精；精心務達為進。梵音禪那，此云靜慮。梵音般若，此云智慧。

First, in explaining the names, the common name comes first, followed by the specific designations. Regarding the common name 'pāramitā', the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi says: 'Only when gathered in by the seven excellences can a pāramitā be established: 1. Excellence of abiding, meaning one must abide in the bodhisattva lineage; 2. Excellence of basis, meaning one must rely on the great bodhicitta; 3. Excellence of aspiration, meaning one must have loving compassion for all sentient beings; 4. Excellence of enterprise, meaning one must fully carry out all enterprises; 5. Excellence of skillful means, meaning one must be embraced by non-conceptual wisdom; 6. Excellence of dedication, meaning one must dedicate toward unexcelled awakening; 7. Excellence of purity, meaning one must not be admixed with the two hindrances, that is, having no regret across the three times.' If any of these seven is lacking, it is not reaching the other shore; therefore, each of these six perfections is distinguished by four propositions. As for their specific names: relinquishing oneself to give to others is called generosity (dāna); guarding against wrongdoing and halting evil is called moral discipline (śīla); withstanding various dharmas without being able to forget them is called patience (kṣānti)—this is spoken in terms of patience toward sentient beings; further, patience means assent (kṣānti), and patience is wisdom, because it assents to both phenomena and principle equally. Refining the mind in the Dharma is called diligence (vīrya); an earnest mind striving to achieve is called energetic advance. The Sanskrit sound is dhyāna, translated here as quiet meditation. The Sanskrit sound is prajñā, translated here as wisdom.
