摩訶止觀 8.203

8.203

若入似位，得法賞賜，勿生高心、愛心。譬如大勳，黜為小縣，或失祿，或失命。若起法愛，是犯罪。但發似解如小縣，失似解如失祿；墮二乘地如失命，大乘家業宗社滅故。若無法愛，從相似入真實，調魔為侍，直至道場。復次，退慧如失勳；退定如失祿；俱退如失命。復次，通用一意為觀者，行人根鈍，先解通意，度曲入別。《中論》品品別意，而俱會無生。通、別互舉，得意相成也。

If one enters the stage of resemblance and receives the rewards of the Dharma, do not give rise to haughtiness or attachment. It is like having great merit and being demoted to a small county, either losing one's salary or losing one's life. If one gives rise to attachment to the Dharma, that is committing an offense. Only giving rise to resemblance understanding is like [being relegated to] a small county; losing resemblance understanding is like losing one's salary; falling into the stage of the two vehicles is like losing one's life, because the ancestral altars and family estate of the Mahāyāna are destroyed. If one is without attachment to the Dharma, from resemblance one enters reality, tames māras as attendants, and proceeds directly to the bodhimaṇḍa. Furthermore, regressing in wisdom is like losing merit; regressing in concentration is like losing salary; regressing in both is like losing life. Furthermore, generally using a single intention as contemplation is because practitioners of dull faculties first understand the general intention, and then bend their steps into the distinctive. The Mūlamadhyamakakārikā has distinctive intentions chapter by chapter, yet all converge in non-arising. The shared and the distinctive are raised mutually, and their intended meanings fulfill one another.
