三、出世間上上禪者,即九種大禪,如《地持》所釋,今不具論。自性禪者,即是觀心實性,名為上定。一切諸法,頗有不由心者,心攝一切,如如意珠。此九大禪,皆是法界。一切趣禪,造境即真,一色一香,無非中道。二乘尚不知其名,況證其定!

Third, the supramundane supreme dhyānas are the nine kinds of great dhyāna, as explained in the Bodhisattvabhūmi (*Dichi jing*); they will not be discussed in detail now. The dhyāna of self-nature is contemplating the real nature of the mind; it is called supreme concentration. Among all phenomena, could there be any that do not stem from the mind? The mind encompasses all things, like a wish-fulfilling jewel. These nine great dhyānas are all the dharma realm. All dhyānas of convergence realize the real as soon as an objective realm is formed; not a single color or scent fails to be the Middle Way. Even the two vehicles do not yet know their names, much less realize their concentration!
