'Not an object of a lower stage' is the sixth category, contemplation of breath: respiration is taken as an object only by a mind of its own stage or a higher stage; a mind of a lower stage does not take the breath of a higher stage as an object. For instance, when a body born in the desire realm gives rise to a desire-realm mind, this is a mind of its own stage; when it gives rise to a mind of the higher first, second, or third dhyānas to take the desire-realm breath as an object, this is a mind of a higher stage. Respiration of the first dhyāna is taken as an object by only three stages; respiration of the second dhyāna is taken as an object by two stages; respiration of the third dhyāna is taken as an object only by its own stage. If one is born in a lower stage, higher breath does not exist. Furthermore, when one born in a higher stage gives rise to a lower-stage mind, it is not a mind that takes breath as an object, and therefore a lower-stage mind does not take higher-stage breath as an object. For example, if one born in the first dhyāna gives rise to a desire-realm mind, it is only a fruition of superknowledge (abhijñāphala), but this fruition of superknowledge takes as object only things created by transformation in the desire realm. If one born in the upper two dhyānas gives rise to a mind of the first dhyāna or the like, it can be either deportment (īryāpatha) or fruition of superknowledge; deportment takes as object only bodily karma of the first dhyāna, and fruition of superknowledge likewise takes as object only transformations of the first dhyāna; therefore, when a lower-stage mind arises, it cannot take higher-stage breath as an object. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 22.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.22.63) - [Next: 22.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.22.65) - [Up: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.22) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.22.64) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.22.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.22.64) · Pramāṇa
