摩訶止觀 10.62

10.62

夫佛法兩說：一、攝，二、折。如〈安樂行〉不稱長短，是攝義；《大經》執持刀仗乃至斬首，是折義。雖「與」、「奪」殊途，俱令利益。若諸見流轉，須斷令盡；若助練神明、迴心入正，皆可攝受。

Now, the Buddha-Dharma has two expositions: first, embracing; second, refuting. Just as the "Practices of Ease" does not speak of shortcomings, which is the meaning of embracing; the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra speaks of taking up knives and clubs even to the point of decapitation, which is the meaning of refuting. Although "granting" and "stripping away" take different paths, both bring benefit. If views are in saṃsāra, they must be cut off completely; if they assist in refining the spirit and turning the mind toward the correct, they can all be embraced.
