Next, explaining the manifest characteristics of the dhyāna of luminous penetration (tongming / *saṃbhedaprabhāsa): When cultivating the extraordinary above, contemplative wisdom is still general; when seeing the thirty-six substances, the realized characteristics are also general. When cultivating luminous penetration, it is subtle and fine; when realized, it is distinct and clear. The Avataṃsaka also contains this name; the Mahāsaṃnipāta's explanation of the ratnolkā-dhāraṇī is precisely this dhyāna; the Qing Guanyin is also of this import. When cultivating, the three matters are cultivated comprehensively, capable of giving rise to the three clarities and the six supernormal powers. Furthermore, when cultivating the ratnolkā, it extends even to entering the meditative attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling. One should know that this gate is complete with the eight liberations, the three clarities, and the six supernormal powers; hence it is named "luminous penetration."
