正禪發相者，若於坐中發諸禪時，無有如上所說諸邪法等，隨正禪發時，即覺與定相應，空明清淨，內心喜悅，澹然快樂，無有覆蓋，善心開發，信敬增長，智鑒分明，身心柔軟，微妙虛寂，厭患世間，無為無欲，出入自在，是為正禪發相。此二種相如人與惡人共事，常相觸惱。若與善人共事，久久逾見其美，斯亦如是，行者宜深察之，故須善友教授。

As for the manifestation of correct dhyāna: if when various dhyānas arise in meditation, none of the above-mentioned deviating phenomena exist, and as correct dhyāna arises, one immediately feels correspondence with concentration, empty, bright, and pure, with internal joy and placid delight, free from hindrances, good thoughts expanding, faith and respect increasing, wisdom discerning clearly, body and mind pliant, subtle and tranquilly empty, repulsed by the worldly, unconditioned and desireless, entering and leaving with ease—this is the manifestation of correct dhyāna. These two kinds of marks are like a person associating with an evil person, constantly tormented; but if associating with a good person, over time one increasingly sees their excellence. It is just like this; practitioners should examine it deeply, and therefore instruction by a good friend is necessary.
