The four fundamental dhyānas and the four fundamental formless realms each have a threshold stage, serving as the entryways into the eight fundamentals. 'Equanimity' answers the second question. These eight threshold stages are all associated with equanimity; because they operate with exertion, they lack joy and pleasure. The word 'pure' and 'the first is also noble, or three' answer the third question. 'Pure' means that the eight threshold stages are all subsumed under pure absorption. 'The first is also noble' means that the threshold stage of the first dhyāna is also uncontaminated. None of these eight threshold stages possesses relishing, because they are paths of detachment from defilement. 'Or three' means that the word 'or' indicates another opinion: that the first unreached concentration has relished absorption, because before the fundamental \[absorption\] has arisen, one also craves this \[stage\]; hence this unreached concentration possesses all three absorptions. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 28.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.87) - [Next: 28.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.89) - [Up: 28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.28.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.88) · Pramāṇa
