摩訶止觀 6.113

6.113

又如諸經中，或一道為藥，如一行三昧。如佛告比丘：「他物莫取，一切法皆是他物；於一切法不受成羅漢。」如前所明，單、複諸見皆悉不受。或二道為藥，定愛智策，二輪平等；或三法為藥，謂戒定慧；或四法為藥，謂四念處；或五法為藥，謂五力；或六法謂六念；七覺、八正道、九想、十智，如是等增數明道，乃至八萬四千不可稱數。或眾多一法乃至無量一法，不可說一法。或眾多十法，無量十法，不可說十法。是一一法有種種名、種種相、種種治，出假菩薩皆須識知。為眾生故集眾法藥，如海導師。若不知者，不能利物。為欲知故，一心通修止觀，大悲誓願及精進力；諸佛威加，法眼開發，皆能了知，如觀掌果。

Furthermore, as in various sūtras, sometimes a single path is taken as the medicine, such as the samādhi of one practice. As when the Buddha told a bhikṣu: 'Do not grasp what belongs to others; all dharmas belong to others. Becoming an arhat through non-reception of all dharmas.' As explained before, the simple and compound views are all not received. Sometimes two paths are taken as the medicine, with samādhi loved and wisdom urged on, both wheels being equal; sometimes three dharmas are taken as the medicine, namely discipline, samādhi, and wisdom; sometimes four dharmas are taken as the medicine, namely the four smṛtyupasthānas; sometimes five dharmas are taken as the medicine, namely the five powers; sometimes six dharmas, namely the six mindfulnesses; the seven factors of awakening, the eightfold noble path, the nine contemplations, the ten knowledges—such increasing numbers explain the path, up to eighty-four thousand, which cannot be numbered. Or there are numerous single dharmas, even limitless single dharmas, ineffable single dharmas; or numerous sets of ten dharmas, limitless sets of ten dharmas, ineffable sets of ten dharmas. Each and every one of these dharmas has various names, various characteristics, and various remedies; the bodhisattva emerging into the provisional must recognize and know them all. For the sake of sentient beings, he gathers a host of Dharma-medicines, like a guide across the ocean. If he does not know them, he cannot benefit beings. Wishing to know them, with single-mindedness he comprehensively cultivates calming and contemplation, the vow of great compassion, and the power of vigor; through the empowered aid of the Buddhas, the Dharma-eye opens, and he can understand them all clearly, like looking at a fruit in the palm of his hand.
