仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.63

2.63

Explanation: 'When the characteristics of movement are extinguished' refers to the final samādhi at the end of the tenth bhūmi. As for 'characteristics of movement', the Awakening of Faith says: 'Just as wind depending on water produces characteristics of movement, ignorance depending on reality gives rise to the characteristic of karma.' Now in the stage of equal awakening, because the wind is extinguished, the characteristics of movement are extinguished along with it while the water is not extinguished; when that ignorance is extinguished, the characteristic of karma is extinguished along with it while reality is not extinguished. Therefore this stage is spoken of as 'the characteristics of movement are extinguished'. 'Called the vajra samādhi' means that the superior samādhi relied upon by bodhisattvas reaching this stage is like a vajra, capable of severing all subtle obscurations. Next is the fourth [part], explaining the Tathāgata stage.
