瑜伽師地論略纂 16.30

16.30

Regarding the treatise's statement, "because of the six tranquillities": this refers to the passage below, "in three periods when the mind emerges from seclusion; in three periods when the mind is tranquil upon drawing near." Regarding "due to the equality of the cessation of pure consciousness, and not due to the equality of its physical basis (āśraya)": this explains the superior function within the absorption of cessation (nirodhasamāpatti). That is to say, the cessation of the uncontaminated (anāsrava), pure consciousness concurrent with the absorption of cessation is equal [in its cessation], not because the body that serves as the basis of the absorption with mind (the prior preparatory stage) is equal to that of the absorption of cessation; hence it is called the absorption of cessation. Regarding "the three activities do not function": when emerging from absorption, first mental activity arises, next bodily activity arises, and finally vocal activity arises. In the present absorption they are absent, so you must not hold that bodily activity and the rest exist within an absorption with mind. In the *Sūtra on the Causal Conditions of Phenomena* (Dharmapratyayitā-sūtra?), "thoroughly understanding what is to be counteracted" means: because one thoroughly understands the affliction of craving, one does not delight in future existence; because one thoroughly understands the affliction of views, one cannot realize it.
