8.218

三住中，基公解云：聖住謂空、無願、無相滅定者，諸論中唯有三解脫門為聖住，今取滅定，以無相故即多住亦在住中，諸論約三解脫作法，此通實為論無違。又會正為聖，能證聖正法名聖住，唯，三解脫門，若聖人之中成就名聖住，即滅定亦是，餘四聖等不離道諦有心會正是住義，今滅定無心無會正義故諸論無，此論據成就故有。天住中，諸論唯四靜慮今此論通無色者，以定慧均義，據標天名者，唯說四禪，即諸論如對法第十卷說，若有無漏義復有亦名天者，無色亦然，故此中通無色不違。又約有定光淨故名天，無色亦有定光淨故名天，即亦是天住，如此文實作法，彼約一義。

Among the three abidings, Master Ji explains: "The noble abiding refers to emptiness, signlessness, wishlessness, and the absorption of cessation." In various treatises, only the three gates of liberation are the noble abiding; now taking the absorption of cessation is because, being signless, frequent abiding is also included within abiding. Various treatises formulate this in terms of the three liberations, while this treatise speaks in terms of actuality, with no contradiction. Furthermore, harmonizing with rectitude makes one noble; being able to realize noble, correct dharmas is called noble abiding, which is solely the three gates of liberation; if it refers to what is accomplished among noble persons being called noble abiding, then the absorption of cessation is also one. The other four noble [abidings] and so forth are not separate from the truth of the path and have minds that harmonize with rectitude—that is the meaning of abiding; now the absorption of cessation is mindless and lacks the meaning of harmonizing with rectitude, hence various treatises do not have it; this treatise has it based on accomplishment. Regarding the divine abiding, various treatises have only the four dhyānas, while this treatise extends it to the formless realm, because concentration and wisdom are balanced. In terms of designating the name of devas, they only speak of the four dhyānas, as described in treatises such as the tenth fascicle of the Abhidharmasamuccaya; if, due to possessing the taintless meaning, there are those that are also called devas, the formless realm is also like this; hence here extending it to the formless realm is not contradictory. Furthermore, in terms of having the light and purity of concentration it is called deva; the formless realm also has the light and purity of concentration, hence it is called deva, and is thus also a divine abiding. As this text speaks of it in actual terms, those treatises speak in terms of a single meaning.
