3.40

若凡夫止善所治是止相;行善所生是觀相。又四禪、四無量心是止相;六行是觀相。此等皆未免生死,即有漏為相。故《大論》云:「除摩黎山,餘無出栴檀;除三乘智慧,餘無真智慧。」故非今所論也。

If for an ordinary person, what is cured by goodness through cessation is the characteristic of calming; what is produced by goodness through action is the characteristic of contemplation. Furthermore, the four dhyānas and the four immeasurables are the characteristics of calming; the six practices are the characteristics of contemplation. These all fail to escape birth and death, and thus take the defiled as their characteristic. Therefore the Great Treatise says: 'Except for Mount Malaya, nowhere else produces sandalwood; except for the wisdom of the three vehicles, nowhere else has true wisdom.' Hence these are not what is discussed now.
