瑜伽論記 1.91

1.91

The transmission of Master Lingjun says: "In the Western region, there are altogether two interpretations: first, agreeing with the former meaning; second, agreeing with the latter meaning." Master Ji says: "We now take the view that from the eighth stage upward, for bodhisattvas of sharp faculties in an untainted continuum, within a single wisdom arisen from cultivation they are able to give rise to three functions, which are then called the three wisdoms; this principle is also without fault. Just as the two feelings of joy and pleasure in the lower stages have distinct substances, but in the first and second dhyānas they become of the same substance; and before the fourth stage, the two knowledges—ultimate and conventional—have distinct substances, but from the fifth stage onward they should be allowed to be of the same substance: so the three wisdoms of the two vehicles and the like have distinct substances, but from the eighth stage upward, their substance is indeed identical."
