彰所知論 2.32

2.32

The eight liberations: relying on the first two dhyānas, first, possessing the perception of internal form, one contemplates external forms; turning the perception of impurity into a blue-bruised perception, one contemplates form with form. Second, without the perception of internal form, one contemplates external forms; internally without the contemplation of form. Third, relying on the final dhyāna, the liberation of the beautiful, which one directly realizes with the body and fully abides in, contemplating all forms as pure, radiant, and bright. These three, along with the four formless attainments, constitute the subsequent four liberations. The attainment of the cessation of feeling and perception is the eighth liberation. Relying on the mind of the peak of existence, the noble ones, being weary of coarse feeling and perception, extinguish mind and mental factors through serene concentration; this is called cessation attainment.
