金剛三昧經論 3.43

3.43

論曰：此下大分第六明大禪定超諸名數。於中有二：先問、後答。問中言諸流者，所謂三有往還流轉無休息故。有頂者，謂非想處，三有頂故。答中有二：總許、別成。別中亦二：略明、廣釋。略中二句：先明世間禪不離名數、後顯出世禪超彼名數。若見如來者，如前所說「入如來觀」故。如來心自在者，觀如來心離諸縛故。常在滅盡處者，心心數法不生起故。不出亦不入者，心體如理，無起滅故。所以能得不出入者，內心外境平等觀故。略明文竟。

The commentary states: Below this, the sixth major section explains that the great dhyāna-concentration transcends all enumerations of names. In this there are two parts: first the question, then the answer. In the question, "the various flows" refers to the revolving back and forth in the three realms of existence without rest. "The peak of existence" refers to the station of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, because it is the peak of the three realms of existence. In the answer there are two parts: a general affirmation, and an individual establishment. Within the individual part there are also two: a brief explanation, and an extensive exposition. Within the brief one there are two clauses: first explaining that mundane dhyāna does not depart from enumerations of names, and then revealing that supramundane dhyāna transcends those enumerations of names. "If one sees the Tathāgata" means, as stated earlier, "entering the Tathāgata's contemplation." "The Tathāgata's mind is sovereign" means that contemplating the Tathāgata's mind is free from all bondages. "Constantly resides in the place of cessation" means that mind and mental factors do not arise. "Neither emerging nor entering" means that the essence of mind conforms to the principle, having neither arising nor cessation. The reason one can achieve neither emergence nor entry is that internal mind and external objects are contemplated as equal. The brief text ends here.
