第八隨信法行門。如說依法止觀復說不依法止觀，此義云何？佛答，自依教法思量修於止觀，名依法行利根，若不依經法，直信禪師等教授修止觀者名不依法，是隨信行鈍根。此中若薩婆多云：聲聞見道十五心位，利名法行，鈍名信行，菩薩一向法行，獨覺亦是法行。跋摩云：聞思位名信行，四現忍位名法行，見道已去名無相行，今依大乘，二乘信法行，義同後家。若準對法亦通，故亦不違前家之說，菩薩位中迴向以下名信行，四善根名法行，初地已上名無相行，地前亦有利鈍差別，登地以上，根姓一等。

Section eight: The gate of practicing in accord with faith or Dharma. It says: Śamatha and vipaśyanā that rely on the Dharma are explained, and again śamatha and vipaśyanā that do not rely on the Dharma are explained; what does this mean? The Buddha replied: One who personally relies on the Dharma of the teachings to deliberate and cultivate śamatha and vipaśyanā is called one of sharp faculties who practices in accord with Dharma. If one does not rely on the sūtras and teachings, but directly trusts the instructions of meditation masters and the like to cultivate śamatha and vipaśyanā, this is called not relying on the Dharma, and is one of dull faculties who practices in accord with faith. Herein, according to the Sarvāstivādins: In the stage of the fifteen minds of the Śrāvaka's path of seeing, those of sharp faculties are called Dharma-followers, and those of dull faculties are called faith-followers; Bodhisattvas are exclusively Dharma-followers, and Pratyekabuddhas are also Dharma-followers. Varma says: The stages of hearing and thinking are called faith-followers; the stages of the four realizations of patience are called Dharma-followers; from the path of seeing onward is called signless practice. Now according to the Mahāyāna, the faith- and Dharma-practitioners of the two vehicles agree in meaning with the latter master. If based on the Abhidharma it also applies, so it does not contradict the statement of the former master either. In the stages of a bodhisattva, from dedication downward are faith-followers; the four wholesome roots are Dharma-followers; from the first bhūmi onward is signless practice. Before the bhūmis there are also distinctions of sharp and dull faculties; once they ascend the bhūmis, their lineage and faculties are uniform.
