答：理實而言，定慧常并，又依大乘忍亦名智，知八諦時忍者希望求觀察用增故忍名舍那，說為八智，八智即八忍也。智者希望同心寂靜定用增名奢摩他，即八智也，八智亦異十六心，但此文中八忍希望求觀察義強，名舍那說為八智，後起八智希望同心寂靜用強，說名奢摩他，寂靜義同，總說為一心，但為開合不同立名不等，論其體也，即八忍八智不異餘文。

Answer: Strictly speaking, concentration and insight always proceed together; moreover, according to the Mahāyāna, tolerance is also called wisdom. When cognizing the eight truths, because the aspiration, seeking, and observant function of tolerance is predominant, tolerance is called insight (vipaśyanā) and explained as eight wisdoms; the eight wisdoms are just the eight tolerances. Because wisdom's function of aspiring to concurrent mental tranquility and concentration is predominant, it is called śamatha, which is just the eight wisdoms; the eight wisdoms are also distinct from the sixteen minds. It is merely that in this text, the meaning of aspiration, seeking, and observation is stronger in the eight tolerances, so they are termed vipaśyanā and spoken of as eight wisdoms; the subsequent eight wisdoms that arise have a stronger function of aspiring to concurrent mental tranquility, and are thus called śamatha. Because the meaning of tranquility is identical, they are collectively spoken of as a single mind. It is merely due to differences in expanding and combining that different designations are established; regarding their intrinsic nature, they are the eight tolerances and eight wisdoms, no different from the other texts.
