首楞嚴義疏注經 7.204

7.204

墮在世間，愚癡為本。既非覺了，頑鈍相成。或乃習定灰凝，思專枯槁，心隨境變，化物成身。用無識為真修，將頑愚為至道。乃至如劫毘羅化為石，千年華表、土木精怪等，竝心祈報質，非畢竟無情，報盡入輪，如無想天墮。

Falling into the world, stupidity is their root. Because they lack awareness and understanding, dullness and insensibility complete each other. Or they practice concentration so that their minds become like frozen ashes, their thoughts intensely withered and dried up; their minds change following conditions, transforming matter into their bodies. They take lack of consciousness as true cultivation, and regard dull stupidity as the supreme path. This extends even to cases such as Kapila turning to stone, thousand-year ornamental pillars, and spirits of earth and trees—all of these pray in mind for their resulting physical forms and are not ultimate insentient things. When their retribution is exhausted, they enter the cycle of transmigration, just like falling from the heaven of no-thought.
