As for the existence of the Tuṣita Heaven being destroyed by the blue-color samādhi: Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha said, 'The retribution of these devas takes pleasure in blue; palaces, clothing, ornaments, and everything else are all blue.' In order to destroy these blues, the bodhisattva cultivates the paramārtha, which is neither blue, yellow, red, nor white, yet sees blue, yellow, red, and white. The paramārtha is neither precepts, meditation, nor wisdom, yet it is precepts, meditation, and wisdom. With precepts he destroys the blue of retribution; with wisdom of arising and non-arising he destroys the blue of views and thoughts. Not being the true yet seeing the true, not being the provisional yet seeing the provisional, and not being the Middle yet seeing the Middle are also like this. When the three obstructions of blue are destroyed, he personally perfects the three-blue samādhi of the three truths. Up to stimulus and response perfecting the samādhi for others, it can be understood by analogy with the above.
