6.134

Answer: According to Yogācārabhūmi fascicle twelve: 'Question: When entering the attainment of extinction, there is no conceptual discrimination: "I shall enter the absorption, I shall emerge from the absorption." When right in the absorption, because the mind is tranquil, one is free from preparatory effort (prayoga); when about to emerge from the absorption, because the mind has previously ceased, there is also no mental engagement (manaskāra). How can one emerge? Answer: Because one has previously well-cultivated and trained one's deliberate intention. If there are activities, shapes, and marks capable of entering the absorption and capable of emerging from the absorption, one cultivates and repeatedly cultivates them; due to cultivation, one spontaneously enters and spontaneously emerges.'
