摩訶止觀 9.71

9.71

若多若少者：還約依正，一屍為少，二屍為多，如是傳傳可解。一衣、一食、一山河為少；無量衣、食、山河為多。初修從少至多，今發亦應爾。若好若醜者：善業端正為好，惡業鄙陋為醜。此二皆於我美者為好，於我惡者為醜。此二皆有智慧為好，皆有愚癡為醜。此二富貴為好，貧賤為醜。如此好、醜，俱不淨。山河、國土、衣食、屋宅，若好若醜，俱不淨。又依正俱醜；骨人所放八色為好。又八色亦醜；被練為好。好、醜皆不淨。此兩勝處初禪攝。

Regarding 'many or few': this again relates to environmental and primary recompense; one corpse is few, two corpses are many, and one may understand successive increases in this way. One garment, one meal, or one mountain or river is few; immeasurable garments, meals, mountains, and rivers are many. Initial practice proceeds from few to many, and the present manifestation should likewise be so. Regarding 'beautiful or ugly': being handsome through wholesome karma is beautiful, while being base and repulsive through unwholesome karma is ugly. Both of these are beautiful to those who regard them favorably, and ugly to those who regard them unfavorably. Both possessing wisdom is beautiful, and both possessing foolishness is ugly. Both being wealthy and noble is beautiful, and being poor and lowly is ugly. Such beauty and ugliness are both impure. Mountains, rivers, countries, clothing, food, and dwellings, whether beautiful or ugly, are all impure. Furthermore, both environmental and primary recompense are ugly, while the eight colors emitted by the skeleton are beautiful. Moreover, the eight colors are also ugly, while their refined state is beautiful. Both beautiful and ugly are impure. These two bases of mastery are subsumed under the first dhyāna.
