3.45

復次,如輪若無牛御,終不自轉。五輪禪定亦復如是。雖當地各有諸妙功德,若不體真為導,無著熏修,則於地地有礙,便乖輪用。今行者善修體真,無著故,能從初心轉至極果,輪用乃成。是以《法華經》云:「眾生處處著,引之令得出。」當知行者善修止門,則能具足五輪禪定,證三乘聖果。

Furthermore, just as a wheel will never turn on its own without oxen to drive it, the same is true of the dhyāna-concentrations of the five wheels. Although each stage has its various sublime merits, if one does not take the realization of reality as the guide and cultivate with non-attachment, there will be hindrances at stage after stage, thereby going against the function of a wheel. Now, because the practitioner skillfully cultivates the realization of reality with non-attachment, they can turn from the initial mind all the way to the ultimate fruit, and the function of the wheel is then accomplished. Therefore, the Lotus Sūtra says: "Sentient beings are attached everywhere; I lead them to emerge." One should know that if practitioners skillfully cultivate the gate of cessation, they will be able to fully possess the dhyāna-concentrations of the five wheels and realize the noble fruits of the three vehicles.
