勸發菩提心集 1.8

1.8

靜慮相者，謂諸菩薩性於法義能審思惟，無多散亂。見聞若山巖林邊具人不狎習，離惡眾生，隨順宴默，便生愛樂。性薄煩惱，至遠離處，思量自義。心不極為諸惡尋思之所纏擾，於怨尚慈，況親中庸。見苦生悲，隨力拔濟。性聰敏，於法能受能持思念，久事既憶，亦令他憶。如是等類名靜慮種相。

As for the characteristic marks of dhyāna: bodhisattvas by nature are able to investigate and contemplate the meaning of the Dharma with little distraction. Seeing or hearing of mountain crags or forest borders where people do not mingle, departing from evil beings and conforming to quietude, they immediately take pleasure in it. Their nature has few afflictions; going to solitary places, they reflect on their own welfare. Their minds are not extremely entanglingly disturbed by evil thoughts; toward enemies they still show loving-kindness, much more so toward relatives or neutral persons. Seeing suffering, they generate compassion, pulling them out and rescuing them according to their ability. They are intelligent by nature; regarding the Dharma, they can receive, hold, and contemplate it; having remembered long-past events, they also cause others to remember them. Such classes of things are called the characteristic marks of the gotra of dhyāna.
