# 釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 1.53

釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 1.53

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.1.53)

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.
