大乘義章 13.18

13.18

次第三門明入所為。依如《毘曇》，所為有三：一為入滅定，先調其心；二遊戲正受，自試心力；三欲般涅槃以此薰身，令人尊重遺身舍利。是三種中，若入滅定及般涅槃，但於有漏諸禪定中順逆次第及與超越；若遊戲正受，則具為之。若依《成實》，入滅盡定唯順次第，不順超越，餘同毘曇（此三門竟）。

Next, the third section explains the purpose of entering [these concentrations]. According to the Abhidharma, there are three purposes: first, to enter the concentration of cessation, one first trains the mind; second, to sport in meditative attainment, one tests one's own mental power; third, wishing to enter parinirvāṇa, one uses this to suffuse the body, causing people to venerate the relics of the remaining body. Among these three kinds, if entering the concentration of cessation or entering parinirvāṇa, one only proceeds forward and reverse, sequentially and leaping, within the sāsrava dhyānas; if sporting in meditative attainment, one engages in all of them completely. If according to the Tattvasiddhi, entering the concentration of cessation is only done in forward sequence and not by leaping; the rest is the same as the Abhidharma (this third section is concluded).
