【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Expedient means and perfection of wisdom 方便分与般若分

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Expedient means and perfection of wisdom

【Furthermore, all the practices up to and including meditative serenity constitute the factor of enlightenment called either method, the collection of merit, the paths thatdepend on conventional truths, or the stages of the vast path】

So there is another way to divide it, the method starts from the training of meditative serenity and on, it is known as the expedient means, and it is to collect blissful merits. What does this rely on? It relies on the path of conventional truth, which is the path of extensivedeeds.

【The development of the three kinds of special wisdom constitutes the factor ofenlightenment called wisdom, the collection of wisdom, that which depends on ultimate truths, or the stages of the profound path】

Furthermore, what is this development of our “special wisdom?” It is study, contemplation, and wisdom. This is categorized as the perfection of wisdom, and this is the merit of wisdom. What does this wisdom merit rely on? It relies on the ultimate truth, the profound view path. Usually, we refer to them as: this is extensive deed and that is the profound view, this is the deed of wisdom, and that one is the act of blissfulness. So these are at causal stages. What about at the effect stage? When both are fulfilled, one will be endowed with both bliss and wisdom, and that is Buddha!

道次引导 : 方便分与般若分

【复次奢摩他下是方便分，福德资粮，依世俗谛所有之道，广大道次。】

那么我们另外一个分类，说从那个奢摩他以下，这个叫方便分，集聚的是福德资粮。这依什么呢？依世俗谛的道，这是指广大道。

【发起三种殊胜慧者，是般若分，智慧资粮，依胜义谛甚深道次。】

那么然后呢，我们发起这个“殊胜慧”是什么？就闻、思、修慧，这个是般若分，这个智慧资粮。这个智慧资粮依什么？依这个胜义谛，甚深道。平常我们说，这个是广大行、这个是深见行，这个是智慧行、这个是福德行，那么因地当中是这样。果地当中呢？二足尊，两样东西足了—福足、慧足，那就是佛！
