23.3

第三會於須彌山頂說十住，表入理契智，非生滅心所得至故。如須彌山在大海中，高八萬四千由旬，非手足攀攬所及。明八萬四千塵勞山住煩惱大海，於一切法無思無為，即煩惱海枯竭，塵勞山便成一切智山，煩惱海便成性海。若起心思慮，所有攀緣塵勞山逾高、煩惱海逾深，不可至其智頂。明以定為方便，是故法慧菩薩入方便三昧方說此法門。當知亡思即智現、在想即迷存，滯寂智潛、情虛智發。此乃見道之初，生佛智慧家之始，約表出凡超世，同天自在，得智慧山之頂。又以方便定止心不亂為山體故，以艮為山為止。此為十住位也，初生佛智慧家、住佛所住，明依定發慧，像須彌山故。

The third assembly takes place at the summit of Mount Sumeru to expound the ten abodes. This represents entering principle and according with wisdom, for it cannot be reached by a mind of arising and ceasing. Just as Mount Sumeru sits in the great ocean, eighty-four thousand yojanas high, unreachable by climbing with hands and feet, this clarifies that the eighty-four thousand mountains of afflictive toil dwell within the great ocean of defilements; when one is free of thought and free of contrivance regarding all phenomena, then the ocean of defilements dries up, the mountains of afflictive toil immediately become the mountain of all-knowledge, and the ocean of defilements immediately becomes the nature-ocean. If one gives rise to intentional thought, all one's grasping causes the mountains of afflictive toil to grow ever higher and the ocean of defilements ever deeper, making it impossible to reach the summit of wisdom. This clarifies using concentration as an expedient means; hence the Bodhisattva Dharmamati enters an expedient samādhi before expounding this Dharma gate. One should know that when thought is forgotten, wisdom manifests; when one remains in conceptualization, delusion persists. Stagnating in quiescence, wisdom is hidden; when feelings are empty, wisdom emerges. This is the beginning of the path of vision, the start of being born into the house of the Buddha's wisdom; it metaphorically represents emerging from the ordinary and transcending the world, being at ease like the gods, and attaining the summit of the mountain of wisdom. Furthermore, because taking expedient concentration to stop the mind from distraction is the essence of the mountain—as [the hexagram] Gen represents a mountain as stopping—this is the stage of the ten abodes: newly born into the house of the Buddha's wisdom, dwelling where the Buddhas dwell, clarifying that wisdom arises in reliance on concentration, just as Mount Sumeru exemplifies.
