瑜伽論記 19.10

19.10

Regarding the three kinds of brahmacārins (brahmans): first, the brahmacārin who is proceeding toward [the fruit], namely the four practitioners proceeding toward the fruits; second, one abiding in the fruit, namely the fruits of the preceding three trainings; third, one who has arrived at the ultimate, namely the fruit of the one beyond training. "Brahman" is a Western word, which translates here as "tranquil," referring to nirvāṇa. "Zhi" (aspiration) is a Chinese word, meaning to aspire to the Brahman; hence one is called a brahmacārin (aspiring to the pure/brahman).
