【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- The three precious trainings of ethical discipline, concentration, and wisdom

【Accordingly, Atisha’s Commentary on the Difficult Points of the “Lamp for the Path” states that, except for the practices of serenity and insight, all the practices up to and including the training in the precepts of the vow of the engaged spirit of enlightenment constitute the training in ethical discipline. Serenity is the training in concentration or mind. Insight is the training in wisdom. 】

So let’s review the division again and reflect on it, normally we refer to the aforementioned practice as ethical discipline, concentration, and wisdom. They are known as the six perfections in Mahayana practice. Actually, they are just grouped differently with different labels. The overall summation is no other than these three precious trainings of: ethical discipline, concentration, and wisdom. So it is to say that the practices up to and Including the training in the precepts are: generosity, ethical discipline, patience, joyous perseverance, and so forth. They are categorized under ethical discipline. Meditative serenity is Samadhi, also known as mind training or concentration. Insight is the training in wisdom. In short, it is the three precious trainings of ethical discipline, concentration, and wisdom.

道次引导 : 戒定慧三学

【如《道炬释》说，除修止观，学习律仪学处以下，是为戒学。奢摩他者，是三摩地，或为心学。毗钵舍那，是为慧学。】

那么，重新我们又分过，回过头来，我们平常说，前面叫戒定慧，大乘叫六度万行，实际上，这个开合不同，开合不同，总摄起来，还不外乎那个戒定慧三学。那么所以说，从律仪以下，这个是指布施，持戒，忍辱，精进等等，这个属于戒学；奢摩他是三摩地，或是心学，或是定学；毗钵舍那是慧学。总之就是戒定慧三学。
