1.53

不共名者,波羅蜜三字,名到彼岸,此但據菩薩、諸佛,故《摩訶衍論》云:「禪在菩薩心中,名波羅蜜。」是名不共。所以者何?凡夫著愛,外道著見,二乘無大悲方便,不能盡修一切禪定,是以不得受到彼岸名,故言波羅蜜即是不共。

As for the unshared name: the three characters *boluomi* (pāramitā) mean "reaching the other shore." This is based solely on bodhisattvas and all Buddhas; therefore the Mahāyāna Treatise states: "When dhyāna is in the mind of a bodhisattva, it is named pāramitā." This is called unshared. Why is this? Ordinary persons are attached to craving, non-Buddhists are attached to views, and followers of the two vehicles lack great compassion and expedient means and cannot cultivate all dhyāna-concentrations fully; therefore they do not receive the name of "reaching the other shore." Thus it is said that pāramitā is unshared.
