釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 1.112

1.112

行行次第，所謂觀、鍊、熏、修。初明觀禪次第，有六種禪：初修九想，無漏之前，用此對治，破欲界煩惱故。次八念，為除修九想時怖畏心生故。次十想，壞法人於欲界修此十想，斷三界煩惱故。次八背捨，不壞法人修此觀禪，對治三界根本定中見著故。次明八勝處，為於諸禪定觀緣中得自在故。次明十一切處，為欲廣禪定中色心令普遍故。乃至修六神通，由是觀禪攝。

The sequence of active practices refers to contemplation, smelting, fumigating, and cultivating. First, explaining the sequence of contemplation dhyānas, there are six kinds of dhyāna: First, one cultivates the nine notions prior to undefiledness, using them as an antidote to destroy the defilements of the desire realm. Next are the eight recollections, to eliminate fear when it arises during the cultivation of the nine notions. Next are the ten notions, cultivated in the desire realm by persons of destroyed faculties to sever defilements of the three realms. Next are the eight liberations, cultivated as this contemplation dhyāna by persons of uncorrupted faculties to counteract views and attachments within the root concentrations of the three realms. Next are the eight stations of mastery, in order to attain sovereignty within the contemplation objects of the various dhyānas. Next are the ten totality spheres, in order to expand form and mind within dhyāna concentration to make them all-pervasive. This extends to the cultivation of the six supernormal knowledges, which are all subsumed under contemplation dhyāna.
