注維摩詰經 9.138

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [9.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.138)

什曰：禪定有三種，一大乘、二小乘、三凡夫。凡夫禪生高慢我心。小乘禪獨善求證，能燒眾善壞無上道根，於菩薩則為惡趣，故視之如地獄也。肇曰：禪定雖樂，安之則大道不成。菩薩不樂，故想之如地獄也。

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: There are three kinds of dhyāna-concentration: first, Mahāyāna; second, Hīnayāna; third, ordinary worldlings. The dhyāna of ordinary worldlings gives rise to pride and conceit of self. The dhyāna of Hīnayāna seeks personal verification of perfection alone; it can burn away manifold wholesome deeds and destroy the roots of the unexcelled Way, being an evil destination for a bodhisattva—hence they view it like a hell. \[Seng\]zhao says: Although dhyāna-concentration is joyful, if one settles complacently in it, the Great Way will not be achieved. Bodhisattvas take no pleasure in it, and thus regard it as a hell.
