The four dhyānas also leave behind three afflictions: leaving behind the poison of anger, the dust of greedy desire, and the cold of torpor and sleep. Leaving behind these three afflictions brings peace and joy. > \[Seng\]zhao says: Worldly people cut wood to make couches on account of poisonous stings and low dampness. The bodhisattva takes the four dhyānas as a couch on account of the poisonous evils of the lower realm. > \[Dao\]sheng says: 'Four' corresponds to the four directions. Dhyāna takes peace and joy as its principle, which is the image of a couch. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.159) - [Next: 7.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.161) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.7.160) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.160) · Pramāṇa
