成唯識論演祕 6.55

6.55

七地已前二乘等得名為初也，故《瑜伽論》第十二云：「復次，云何超越入諸等至，謂即於已得圓滿清白故，從初靜慮無間超入第三靜慮，第三無間超入空無邊處，空處無間超入無所有處，乃至逆超亦爾，以極遠故無有能超第三等至，唯除如來及出第二阿僧企耶諸大菩薩，彼隨所欲入諸定故。」

Before the seventh bhūmi, the attainment by the two vehicles and the like is called initial. Therefore the twelfth fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi says: 'Furthermore, how does one enter absorptions by skipping? Namely, precisely because of having attained complete purity, from the first dhyāna one immediately skips into the third dhyāna, from the third immediately skips into the sphere of boundless space, from the sphere of space immediately skips into the sphere of nothingness, and so forth in reverse skipping likewise. Because it is extremely distant, none can skip past a third attainment, with the sole exception of the Tathāgata and great bodhisattvas who have transcended the second asaṃkhyeya, because they enter various absorptions at will.'
