釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 6.159

6.159

Prajñā extinguishes all phenomena yet can generate all phenomena. Just as extinguishing sorrow from the first dhyāna onward, up to neither-perception-nor-non-perception extinguishing the perception of the base of non-employment, these are all preliminary expedient means within prajñā, extinguishing phenomena in order to enter emptiness. Because it extinguishes phenomena, it can generate subsequent superior phenomena; and because prajñā can generate the myriad phenomena, these twelve doors of dhyāna are all subsumed under the sphere of prajñā.
