摩訶止觀 8.9

8.9

若開此利鈍，為八萬四千；今但束為四分。三毒偏發為三分；若等緣三境名「等分」；三毒偏起是覺觀而非多；三毒等起名「覺觀多」。若少、若多悉名「散動」，俱能障定；無記是「報散動」，則不障定。經云：「從滅定出，入散心中；散心中還入諸定。」散不障定，即此義也。《成論》人云：「散兼無知，癡能障定。」若爾，散兼瞋、欲，何不障定耶？今釋別有意，如上棄蓋中說。

If these sharp and dull ones are unpacked, they become eighty-four thousand; now they are simply bundled into four divisions. When the three poisons arise predominantly, they constitute three divisions; if they focus equally on the three objects, it is called the 'equal division'. The predominant arising of a single poison is reflection, but not in excess; when the three poisons arise equally, it is called 'excessive reflection'. Whether few or many, all are called 'distraction and agitation', and both can obstruct concentration; neutral states are 'karmic result distraction and agitation', and do not obstruct concentration. A sūtra says: 'Emerging from the concentration of cessation, one enters into the distracted mind; within the distracted mind, one returns again into the concentrations.' That distraction does not obstruct concentration is precisely this meaning. The *Satyasiddhi* masters say: 'Distraction includes ignorance, and delusion can obstruct concentration.' If so, when distraction includes anger and desire, why would it not obstruct concentration? Now the explanation has a different intention, as explained above under discarding the hindrances.
