解名有八，亦名三摩地口等者，景云：於念念中由緣相分定相續流，如食依口相續入腹，將喻名法名三摩地口，如人依門得有入出，如是定心依緣影像入定出定故名三摩地門，泰云：境能生心如瓶口出物，故名定口，所知事相以定為體，名分別體，令解分明照了，故名光影。

> In explaining the eight names, as in 'also called the opening to samādhi,' and so forth: Jing states: 'From moment to moment, because of cognizing the objective aspect, samādhi flows in continuous succession; just as food enters the stomach in continuous succession by relying on the mouth, an analogy is applied to name the Dharma, calling it the opening to samādhi. Just as a person can enter and exit by relying on a doorway, so the mind in samādhi enters and exits samādhi by relying on cognizing the mental image, hence it is called the doorway to samādhi.' Tai states: 'The cognitive object can generate the mind, just as an object emerges from the mouth of a vase, hence it is called the opening to samādhi. Taking the appearance of knowable phenomena with samādhi as their essence is called the conceptual essence. Causing understanding to illuminate clearly is called radiant reflection.'
