According to this treatise text, when born into a higher stage, the body can only generate deportment minds and fruition-of-mastery minds belonging to a lower stage. However, here it refers to mental consciousness and does not refer to the three \[sense\] consciousnesses, because it speaks of contemplating breath. Borrowing a lower consciousness to generate the deportment and fruition-of-mastery of a higher stage only cognizes the activities initiated and the illusory creations produced, etc., and does not cognize the wind of the higher stage. An unsoiled indeterminate mind does not cognize the breath of a higher stage at all. The \*Nyāyānusāra\* says: “What are the characteristics of the perfection of mindfulness of breathing? One should speak thus: When a practitioner focuses the mind to contemplate the breath as subtle and flowing gently—that is, imagining the entire body as a single hollow tube, and the breath wind continuous like a strung pearl, incapable of moving the body and not giving rise to body consciousness—at this point, one should say mindfulness of breathing is perfected.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 22.218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.22.218) - [Next: 22.220](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.22.220) - [Up: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.22) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.22.219) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.22.219](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.22.219) · Pramāṇa
