摩訶止觀 9.120

9.120

識次位者：三惡輕重，皆由無明惡行、不善愛、取所致也；三善高卑，亦由無明善行、不動行、愛、取、有所致也。若翻無明、愛、取，起生滅智者，即三藏中慧解脫賢聖位行高下也；若轉行、有，起觀練熏修行行功德，即是三藏俱解脫賢聖位行高下也。小、大迦羅，類此可知。翻五度，成於行、有般若；翻無明、愛、取，調伏諸根，即有三僧祇位也。若翻無明、愛、取，體達即真；翻行、有，修六度，如空種樹，即有四忍位行高下也。翻無明、愛、取，生道種智；翻行、有，成歷劫修行諸度、神通、淨佛國土、成就眾生，即有六輪位行高下。若翻無明、愛、取即是熾然三菩提燈者，即有圓教六即位高下。

Recognising stages [of practice]: the lightness or gravity of the three evil destinies is entirely brought about by the evil formations, unwholesome craving, and grasping of avidyā. The heights and depths of the three wholesome destinies are likewise brought about by the wholesome formations, non-agitating formations, craving, grasping, and becoming of avidyā. If one overturns avidyā, craving, and grasping, and gives rise to wisdom regarding arising and ceasing, these are the higher and lower ranks of practice among the worthy and noble ones liberated through wisdom in the Tripiṭaka [teaching]. If one transforms formations and becoming, and gives rise to the merits of contemplation, refinement, permeation, and cultivation of conduct, these are the higher and lower ranks of practice among the doubly liberated worthy and noble ones in the Tripiṭaka [teaching]. The minor and major kalas can be known by analogy with this. Overturning the five perfections into the prajñā of formations and becoming, and overturning avidyā, craving, and grasping to subdue the sense faculties, constitutes the stages of the three asaṃkhyeyas. If one overturns avidyā, craving, and grasping, and comprehends that they are immediately real; and overturns formations and becoming to cultivate the six perfections like planting trees in space, these are the higher and lower ranks of practice of the four patiences. Overturning avidyā, craving, and grasping gives rise to the wisdom of the aspects of the path; overturning formations and becoming accomplishes the cultivation of the perfections through kalpas, spiritual powers, purifying Buddha-lands, and maturing sentient beings, constituting the higher and lower ranks of practice of the six wheels. If overturning avidyā, craving, and grasping is itself the blazing lamp of the three bodhis, these are the higher and lower ranks of the six identities in the perfect teaching.
