【毘梨耶】《法界次第》云：「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。」《止觀》引舊云：「精進無別體，但督眾行。義而推之，應有別體。例無明通入眾使，更別有無明，今且寄誦經勤策其心，以擬精進，晝夜不虧，乃得滑利，而非三昧慧。」《唯識論》云：「勇捍為性。」疏云：「勇而無怯，自策發也；捍而無懼，耐勞倦也。」陳氏云：「精其心，進其志。」《大集》：「佛言：『精進有二種：一始發精進，二終成精進。菩薩以始發精進，習成一切善法：以終成精進，分別一切法不得自性。』」《法句經》云：「若能心不起，精進無有涯。」

[Vīrya] The Fajie cidi states: "In the language of Qin, it is called zeal and delight (jinjin yule). Diligently practicing wholesome dharmas without self-indulgent negligence is called vīrya (zeal/vigor). There are two kinds of vīrya: first, bodily zeal; second, mental zeal. If the body diligently cultivates wholesome dharmas—practicing the Way, paying homage, reciting, expounding, exhorting and assisting, and transforming others—this is bodily zeal. If the mind diligently walks the wholesome Path, with thought succeeding thought without interruption, this is mental zeal. Furthermore, diligently cultivating the wholesome dharmas of giving and moral discipline is bodily zeal. Diligently cultivating patience, meditative absorption, and wisdom is mental zeal." The Zhiguan cites older authorities: "Zeal has no separate essence (svabhāva); it merely urges on all practices. Yet by rational deduction, it ought to have a separate essence. Just as ignorance (avidyā) pervades all defiling afflictions (saṃyojana) and yet ignorance exists separately, so now we temporarily refer to diligently urging the mind through sutra recitation to represent zeal; when it proceeds day and night without deficit, one achieves fluidity, though it is not yet the wisdom of samādhi." The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi says: "Its nature is courageous endurance." The commentary states: "Courageous without fear, it urges itself forward; enduring without dread, it bears toil and weariness." Master Chen says: "To refine one's mind and advance one's intent." The Mahāsaṃnipāta Sutra states: "The Buddha said: 'There are two kinds of zeal: first, initial zeal; second, final consummation of zeal. By initial zeal, the bodhisattva trains in and accomplishes all wholesome dharmas; by final consummation of zeal, one discriminates that all dharmas cannot be apprehended as having an intrinsic nature.'" The Dharmapada says: "If the mind does not arise, zeal knows no bounds."
