摩訶止觀 7.23

7.23

First, explaining their own division: it is not necessarily the case that one must complete all factors to be able to attain the path. The three fours, the two fives, the single seven, and the solitary eight—in their own division they are the path. Therefore it is said, "One should rely on the smṛtyupasthāna to attain the path." It is also said, "This is the bodhimaṇḍa"; and it is also said, "This is the Mahāyāna." If this is so for the smṛtyupasthāna, it is likewise so for the remaining factors. This is the path-factors in their own division, not harmonization.
