華嚴經內章門等雜孔目章 4.47

4.47

六念者，謂念佛、念法、念僧、念戒、念施、念天。此教興意，為初發心者堅信心故。復有八念，謂念佛、念法、念僧、念戒、念施、念天、念入出息、念死。此之八念，為趣修者說。復有十念，一者於一切眾生常生慈心，於一切眾生不毀其行，若毀其行終不往生。二者於一切眾生深起悲心，除殘害心。三者發護法心，不惜身命，於一切法不生誹謗。四者於忍辱中生決定心。五者深心清淨，不染利養。六者發一切種智心，日日常念，無有廢忘。七者於一切眾生起尊重心，除我慢心，謙下言說。八者於世談話，不生味著心。九者近於覺意，深起種種善根因緣，離於憒鬧散亂之心。十者正念觀佛，除去諸想。當云何念？非凡愚念、非不善念、不雜結使念，即得往生安養國土。此教興意，為往生修行人。復有十念：一淨心、二不動心、三厭心、四離欲心、五不退心、六堅心、七明盛心、八淳厚心、九快心、十大心，廣說如《十地論》。前之二念是小乘，通初教；次之一念在初教，通終教；後之一念在一乘，通三乘。餘義如別章。

Regarding the six recollections, they are: mindfulness of the Buddha, mindfulness of the Dharma, mindfulness of the Saṅgha, mindfulness of morality, mindfulness of giving, and mindfulness of deities. The purpose of this teaching's arising is to solidify the faithful mind for beginners. Furthermore, there are eight recollections, namely: mindfulness of the Buddha, mindfulness of the Dharma, mindfulness of the Saṅgha, mindfulness of morality, mindfulness of giving, mindfulness of deities, mindfulness of inhalation and exhalation, and mindfulness of death. These eight recollections are taught for those who progress in cultivation. Furthermore, there are ten recollections: 1. Constantly generating a mind of loving-kindness toward all sentient beings and not damaging their practices; if one damages their practices, one will ultimately not attain rebirth. 2. Deeply generating a mind of compassion toward all sentient beings, eliminating any mind of cruelty. 3. Generating a mind to protect the Dharma without begrudging bodily life, generating no slander toward any dharmas. 4. Generating a resolute mind in patience. 5. Having a deeply pure mind, untainted by gain and sustenance. 6. Generating the mind of sarvākārajñatā, constantly mindful of it every day without neglect. 7. Generating a mind of respect toward all sentient beings, eliminating arrogance, and speaking humbly. 8. Not generating a mind of attachment to worldly talk. 9. Approaching factors of awakening, deeply generating the causes and conditions of various wholesome roots, and departing from a bustling and scattered mind. 10. Correctly mindful in contemplating the Buddha, eliminating all conceptual thoughts. How should one be mindful? Being mindful without ordinary foolishness, being mindful without unwholesomeness, and being mindful without mixed fetters, one will attain rebirth in the Land of Peace and Sustenance. The purpose of this teaching's arising is for practitioners seeking rebirth. Furthermore, there are ten recollections: 1. pure mind, 2. immovable mind, 3. revulsion mind, 4. desire-free mind, 5. non-retrogressing mind, 6. firm mind, 7. brilliant mind, 8. mellow and deep mind, 9. joyous mind, 10. great mind, as extensively explained in the Daśabhūmika-śāstra. The former two [sets of] recollections belong to the Hīnayāna and extend to the initial teaching; the next [set of] recollections resides in the initial teaching and extends to the final teaching; the latter [set of] recollections resides in the Ekayāna and extends to the Triyāna.
