2.56

From "departing from sorrow" downward marks and indicates the meaning of dhyāna. From "the first dhyāna" downward clarifies dhyāna in terms of the four teachings. First, in terms of the four dhyānas, it refers to the Tripiṭaka and shared [teachings]; later, obtaining the mutual functioning of the six faculties refers to the distinct and perfect [teachings]. "Others abide in the first dhyāna," and so forth, is distinguished in terms of the virtues of the limbs. The first dhyāna has five limbs: 1. vitarka, 2. vicāra, 3. joy, 4. bliss, 5. one-pointedness of mind. The second dhyāna has four limbs: 1. internal purification, 2. joy, 3. bliss, 4. one-pointedness of mind. The third dhyāna has five limbs: 1. equanimity, 2. mindfulness, 3. joy, 4. bliss, 5. one-pointedness of mind. The fourth dhyāna has four limbs: 1. neither-pain-nor-pleasure, 2. equanimity, 3. purification of mindfulness, 4. one-pointedness of mind. Mind and the dharma of concentration are named the limb of one-pointedness of mind; all four dhyānas possess both mind and the dharma of concentration, so they all possess this limb. The third dhyāna has the joy limb; now saying "excluding joy" is not yet clear. "The six faculties possessing dhyāna": it speaks of six for convenience, but the intention is fully to reveal the eye. "Utmost exhaustion": the Tripiṭaka and shared completely exhaust [the defilements of] views and thought; the distinct exhausts [those numerous as] dusts and sands; the perfect exhausts fundamental ignorance; discussed according to their respective scopes, each is named utmost.
