49.18

案僧亮曰:不與外道共五通也。一心作一者,釋不與二乘及外道共。但舉二乘,外道可知也。寶亮曰:雖言二乘人一心作一,不得眾多,此正表二乘不得道之意。聲聞入定發通,要須定前作意。作意若一,在定唯能一變;若作意作五事,便能現五變。雖在定,併發五耳,由得言一心作一。何以然?由其前方便有五故。若極利根者,在定亦容可得二變,此皆據教迹作。諸菩薩則不然,發輒修德以曠被為懷,及至物感則稱本心,隨力而現不假興意。若無六行解者,則不能一心現五通身也。

Sengliang states: They do not share the five supernormal powers with non-Buddhists. "Single-mindedly performing one" explains why they are not shared with the two vehicles or non-Buddhists. Mentioning only the two vehicles implies that the non-Buddhists are understood as well. Baoliang states: Although it says that people of the two vehicles single-mindedly perform one and cannot perform many, this directly expresses the point that the two vehicles do not attain the Path. When a śrāvaka enters concentration to produce supernormal powers, they must give rise to intention prior to concentration. If the intention is one, within concentration they can only make one transformation; if their intention undertakes five things, they can then display five transformations. Although within concentration they simultaneously produce five, it can still be said that they single-mindedly perform one. Why is this? Because their prior preparatory stages were five. For those of the sharpest faculties, it is perhaps permissible that within concentration they could manage two transformations; these are all based on the traces of the teaching. Bodhisattvas are not like this: when they arouse intention, they always cultivate virtue with broad benefit in mind; when beings' sensitivities arrive, they accord with their original intent, manifesting according to their power without needing to generate intention. If one lacks understanding of the six practices, one cannot single-mindedly manifest the bodies of the five supernormal powers.
