如《法華》云：「為求菩薩道者，說應六波羅蜜。是以行施乃盡命傾財，持戒則防遮護性，忍辱乃猶刀割水，精精進則知救頭然，禪那乃四儀湛寂，智慧則一念圓明。大願之心普被，無作之道遍施，度生死流，登涅槃岸，故曰六度也。」

> As the \*Lotus\* states: 'For those seeking the bodhisattva path, expound the corresponding six pāramitās. Thus, practicing giving is to exhaust one's life and give away wealth; upholding precepts is to guard against faults and protect one's nature; patience is like a knife cutting water; vigor is knowing to save one's burning head; dhyāna is calm stillness in the four postures; wisdom is complete illumination in a single thought. The mind of great vows universally covers; the unconditioned path is everywhere bestowed. Crossing the stream of birth-and-death and mounting the shore of nirvāṇa, they are therefore called the six pāramitās.'
