### [3.101](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.101)

肇曰：大乘自法身以上得無礙真心，心智寂然未甞不定，以心常定故能萬事普照，不假推求然後知也。小乘心有限礙，又不能常定，凡所觀察在定則見、出定不見。且聲聞定力深者，見眾生根極八萬劫耳，定力淺者身數而已；大士所見見及無窮。此新學比丘根在大乘、應聞大道，而為說小法，故誨其入定也。

> \[Seng\]zhao says: In the Mahāyāna, from the dharmakāya upward, one attains the unimpeded true mind; mental wisdom is quiescent and has never been out of samādhi. Because the mind is constantly in samādhi, it can universally illuminate all things without relying on deduction to know them afterward. In the Hīnayāna, the mind has limits and obstacles, nor can it constantly remain in samādhi; whatever it observes is seen when in samādhi and not seen when out of samādhi. Moreover, those of the śrāvakas whose power of samādhi is deep see the roots of sentient beings up to eighty thousand kalpas, while those whose power of samādhi is shallow see only a few lifetimes; what the mahāsattva sees reaches to the infinite. These newly ordained monks had faculties in the Mahāyāna and ought to have heard the Great Way, but he was expounding the lesser Dharma to them; therefore \[Vimalakīrti\] instructed him to enter samādhi.
