Furthermore, as for being fully endowed with the praṇidhāna-pāramitā due to dhyāna: as the Mahāyāna [Treatise] states, "The bodhisattva's dhyāna-concentration is like the lute of an asura"—one should know that this is the characteristic of fulfilling the great vows. Furthermore, as for being fully endowed with the jñāna-pāramitā due to dhyāna: the knowledge of all phenomena, the knowledge of the aspects of the path, and the sarvākārajñatā cannot arise without concentration, the meaning of which can be seen. Because the practitioner skillfully cultivates dhyāna, they immediately accomplish the ten pāramitās and fulfill the myriad practices and all Dharma gates. Therefore, if a bodhisattva wishes to be endowed with all vows, practices, and pāramitās, they must cultivate dhyāna-concentration; this matter is as stated in the Mahāyāna Treatise.
