When meditative absorption and wisdom are balanced and equal, only then is it called quiet contemplation (dhyāna); if not, it cannot be called dhyāna. The intent shows that in these four stages, all depend on dhyāna and wisdom. However, because the afflictions and habituations subdued within them have hierarchical differences, the various heavens are distinguished; this will be explained below. Or this passage may refer to worldly people who do not cultivate uncorrupted meditative absorption and do not generate uncorrupted correct wisdom, consequently incurring the karmic retributions of the four dhyānas and being unable to escape. Although ordinary beings are said to cultivate dhyāna, it is merely the six practices with outflows; their contemplation of phenomena does not depart from falsehood, and is not called dhyāna. As the text below says: "Although these three superior streams do not correctly cultivate true samādhi," and again: "merely able to restrain their bodies from practicing sexual misconduct," and as it concludes below: "All of these, failing to understand the wondrous, enlightened, luminous mind, accumulate falsehoods to bring them forth, falsely having the three realms," and so forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.9.4) - [Next: 9.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.9.6) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799~en-mt.9.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.9.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.9.5) · Pramāṇa
