### [6.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.6.10)

此即六波羅蜜，從初即是隨順真如之行。而作五門說者，若至信成就後，則一一皆到彼岸，無有不智之禪、無有不禪之智，故不妨說六。今為未入正定聚人，倘以止觀分二門，無由契會真如性故，所以合為一也。當知前四門是助行，止觀門是正行，正助合行，以成福德、智慧二種莊嚴，顯發真如也。

> These are the six perfections; from the very beginning they are practices that accord with tathatā. As for speaking of them as five gates: if one reaches the point after faith is accomplished, then each and every one reaches the other shore; there is no dhyāna that is not wisdom, and no wisdom that is not dhyāna, so there is no harm in speaking of six. Now, for the sake of people who have not yet entered the determinate stage, if calming and contemplation were divided into two gates, there would be no way to tally with the nature of tathatā; therefore, they are combined into one. One should know that the first four gates are auxiliary practices, and the gate of calming and contemplation is the primary practice; the primary and auxiliary practices are cultivated together so as to accomplish the two kinds of adornment—merit and wisdom—and manifest tathatā.
