Regarding "the differentiation of realms" up to "not bound to a realm": Master Fan states that the formless [realm] is called "meditation-concentration" (dhyāna), for the name has both broad and narrow usages. The Yogācārabhūmi proceeds according to the broad sense, and therefore includes the formless [realm], just as the perfections of meditation-concentration also extend to the formless. If one relies on the thirteenth [fascicle] of the Prakaraṇāryavācā, where it speaks of "morality of meditation-concentration and morality of meditative attainments," then the formless is not called meditation-concentration. The author of the Abhidharmasamuccaya states that within the formless realm there is no maturation form, and therefore he abbreviates and does not discuss establishing the discipline of the form realm: because it lacks coarse maturation form, strictly speaking it is called an empty expedient, and it is also an antidotal counteraction at a distant stage, counteracting body and speech that break the precepts in the desire realm; hence, upon the volition concurrent with concentration, the remote abandonment of body and speech is also nominally posited.
