摩訶止觀 8.38

8.38

若遮障重，當修助道。既解惑相持，便應索援。外貪欲起，以不淨助；內貪欲起，以背捨助；內外貪欲起，以勝處助；違法瞋起，眾生慈助；順法瞋起，法緣慈助；戲論瞋起，無緣慈助；計斷常起，三世因緣助；計我人起，二世因緣助；計性實起，一念因緣助；明利覺起，數息助；沈昏覺起，觀息助；半沈半明覺起，隨息助。助道強故，能開闢涅槃門。

If obstacles and hindrances are heavy, one should cultivate the auxiliary path. Once understanding and delusion contend with each other, one must seek reinforcement. When external lust arises, aid it with contemplation of impurity; when internal lust arises, aid it with the liberations (vimokṣa); when internal and external lust arises, aid it with the stations of mastery (abhibhvāyatana); when anger resisting dharmas arises, aid it with loving-kindness toward sentient beings; when anger according with dharmas arises, aid it with loving-kindness conditioned on dharmas; when anger born of conceptual proliferation arises, aid it with unconditioned loving-kindness; when conceptualizations of annihilation or permanence arise, aid them with the causes and conditions of the three periods of time; when conceptualizations of self and person arise, aid them with the causes and conditions of the two periods of time; when conceptualizations of inherent reality arise, aid them with the causes and conditions of a single thought-moment; when clear and sharp discursive thought arises, aid it with counting the breaths; when dull and drowsy discursive thought arises, aid it with contemplating the breaths; when discursive thought that is half-dull and half-clear arises, aid it with following the breaths. Because the auxiliary path is strong, it can open the gate of nirvāṇa.
