四、毘梨耶波羅蜜。毘梨耶，秦言精進。欲樂勤行善法，不自放逸，謂之精進。精進有二種：一者身精進、二者心精進。若身勤修善法，行道、禮誦、講說、勸助、開化，是為身精進；若心勤行善道，心心相續，是為心精進。復次，勤修施、戒善法，是為身精進；勤修忍辱、禪定、智慧，是為心精進。如是等種種分別身、心精進之相不同，今不具辯。若菩薩以質直清淨心修是二種精進，故名為毘梨耶。波羅蜜者，翻名如前。若菩薩能於精進具足修五種心者，是時毘梨耶名波羅蜜。何等為五？一者菩薩知精進實相身心雖不可得，而能勤修一切善法。餘四心類如檀中分別。菩薩若能於精進中具此五心者，隨所勤修善法，因中說果皆具三義，是以菩薩精進，名為行毘梨耶波羅蜜。若至無上菩提佛果，方是毘梨耶波羅蜜具足成就。

Fourth, vīrya-pāramitā. Vīrya is in Qin language "diligence" (vīrya). Desiring, delighting in, and zealously practicing wholesome dharmas without self-indulgence or heedlessness is called diligence. There are two kinds of diligence: first, physical diligence; second, mental diligence. If the body zealously cultivates wholesome dharmas—walking the path, prostrating, reciting, lecturing, encouraging and assisting, transforming and guiding—this is physical diligence. If the mind zealously practices the wholesome path, with thought succeeding thought, this is mental diligence. Furthermore, zealously cultivating the wholesome dharmas of giving and precepts is physical diligence; zealously cultivating patience, meditative absorption, and wisdom is mental diligence. Such various distinctions between the marks of physical and mental diligence are different; they will not be fully expounded now. When a bodhisattva cultivates these two kinds of diligence with an upright, straightforward, and pure mind, it is therefore called vīrya. As for pāramitā, the translated name is as before. If a bodhisattva can fully cultivate five kinds of mental states in diligence, at that time vīrya is called pāramitā. What are the five? First, the bodhisattva knows that in the true characteristic of diligence, body and mind are ungraspable, yet is able zealously to cultivate all wholesome dharmas. The remaining four mental states are categorized as distinguished within dāna. If a bodhisattva can fully possess these five mental states within diligence, then in whatever wholesome dharmas they zealously cultivate, speaking of the fruit within the cause, they all possess the three meanings. Therefore, the bodhisattva's diligence is called practicing vīrya-pāramitā. Only when reaching the fruit of Buddhahood of unsurpassed bodhi is vīrya-pāramitā fully consummated.
