29.21

非擇滅虛空者，無色解脫亦緣自地、上地苦、集諦上非擇滅，及緣九地類智品上非擇滅，及與虛空為所緣境。問：「第三靜慮寧無解脫？」答：「第三定中無眼識所引，顯色貪故；又自地妙樂，所動亂故。故無解脫。」問：「行者何緣修淨解脫？」答：「為欲令欣，修淨解脫。前不淨觀令心沈戚，今修淨觀，策發令欣。或為審知自堪能故，謂前所修不淨解脫為成不成？若觀淨相，煩惱不起，彼方成故。」問：「何故經中第三、第八解脫得身證名，非餘六耶？」答：「以於八中此二勝故，二界邊故，得身證名。第三解脫唯取淨相，令惑不起，名為殊勝。第八解脫以無心故，名為殊勝。第三解脫在色界邊，第八解脫在無色界邊。」

"Non-analytical cessation, and space": the immaterial liberations also take the non-analytical cessation of the truths of suffering and origination of their own level and higher levels, as well as the non-analytical cessation of the category of subsequent cognition of the nine levels, along with space, as their objective sphere. Question: "Why is there no liberation in the third dhyāna?" Answer: "In the third concentration, there is no attachment to color-form induced by the eye-consciousness; furthermore, one is agitated by the sublime pleasure of that level itself; therefore, there is no liberation." Question: "For what reason does the practitioner cultivate the pure liberation?" Answer: "In order to bring about joy, they cultivate the pure liberation. The preceding contemplation of impurity causes the mind to be depressed and sorrowful; now, cultivating the contemplation of purity stimulates it to rejoice. Alternatively, it is to accurately know one's own capability: namely, whether the previously cultivated liberation of impurity has succeeded or not; for only if afflictions do not arise when contemplating pure appearances has it succeeded." Question: "Why are the third and eighth liberations given the designation 'bodily realized' in the sūtra, while the remaining six are not?" Answer: "Because among the eight, these two are superior, and because they are at the borders of the two realms, they receive the name 'bodily realized.' The third liberation takes only pure appearances, preventing defilements from arising, and is therefore called superior. The eighth liberation is called superior because it is without mind. The third liberation is at the border of the form realm, and the eighth liberation is at the border of the formless realm."
