摩訶止觀 2.25

2.25

Regarding the method: physical prescription and proscription, vocal speech and silence, and mental calming and contemplation. This comes from two sūtras. The Vaipulya says: "Circumambulate one hundred and twenty circuits, then sit back down and contemplate." The Lotus Sūtra says: "Whether that person walks or stands, reading and reciting this sūtra, or sits contemplating this sūtra, I will mount a six-tusked white elephant and appear before that person." Therefore we know that both employ half-walking and half-sitting as the method.
