摩訶止觀 9.27

9.27

若動觸起時，或從頭、背、腰、肋、足等處，漸漸遍身。身內覺動，外無動相，似如風發，微微運運。從頭至足多成退分；腰發成住分；足發多是進分。動觸有支林功德。功德略言十種：空、明、定、智、善心、柔軟、喜、樂、解脫、境界相應。空者，動觸發時空心虛豁，不復同前性障未除時。明者，冏淨美妙，晈晈無喻。定者，一心安隱，無有散動。智者，不復迷昏、疑網，心解靜利。善心者，慚、愧、信、敬。慚我不曾得此法，以為愧恥我今尚爾。信一切賢聖具深妙法，敬揖無量。柔軟者，離欲界𢤱悷麁獷，如腦牛皮隨意卷舒。喜者，於所得法而生慶悅。樂者，觸法娛心恬愉美妙。解脫者，無復五蓋。相應者，心與動觸諸功德相應不亂；又念持相應而不忘失，或一日、一月、一歲，安隱久住，斂念即來。

When the touch of motion arises, it begins perhaps from the head, back, waist, ribs, feet, or other places, and gradually pervades the entire body. Inside the body one feels movement, while externally there is no sign of movement; it resembles the stirring of wind, subtle and continuously shifting. Arising from the head down to the feet mostly constitutes the declining portion; arising from the waist constitutes the abiding portion; arising from the feet is mostly the progressive portion. The touch of motion possesses auxiliary factors and virtues. Briefly stated, there are ten kinds of virtues: emptiness, clarity, concentration, wisdom, wholesome mind, suppleness, joy, bliss, liberation, and correspondence with the realm. 'Emptiness' means that when the touch of motion manifests, the empty mind is open and unobstructed, no longer the same as before when natural obstacles were not yet eliminated. 'Clarity' means distinctly pure and exquisitely wondrous, bright beyond analogy. 'Concentration' means a single mind settled and peaceful, free of distraction and motion. 'Wisdom' means no longer dull, bewildered, or ensnared in doubts, but possessing a mind of quiescent and sharp understanding. 'Wholesome mind' means conscience, shame, faith, and reverence: conscience that I had not previously attained this state, feeling ashamed that even now I am only thus; faith that all the worthy and noble ones possess profound and wondrous teachings, and bowing in boundless reverence. 'Suppleness' means being free from the stubborn coarseness of the desire realm, like tanned cowhide rolling and unrolling at will. 'Joy' means giving rise to celebration and delight in the state attained. 'Bliss' means that the experienced state refreshes the mind with serene and wondrous pleasure. 'Liberation' means no longer having the five hindrances. 'Correspondence' means the mind is in concord with the various virtues of the touch of motion without confusion; furthermore, mindfulness holds them in concord without forgetting or losing them, abiding peacefully for a long duration—whether a day, a month, or a year—arriving whenever mindfulness is gathered.
