次明菩薩不共禪次第者：一、自性禪；二、一切義禪；三、難禪；四、一切門禪；五、善人禪；六、一切行禪；七、除惱禪；八、此世他世樂禪；九、清淨淨禪。菩薩依是禪故，得大菩提果，具足十力、四無所畏、十八不共等一切佛法。此則略明菩薩從初發心修禪，次第行，次第學，次第道，乃至佛地，名住大涅槃深禪定窟。此義至釋第七、修證，第八、顯示果報中方乃具辨。

Next, explaining the sequence of dhyānas unshared by the bodhisattva: 1. self-nature dhyāna; 2. all-aspect dhyāna; 3. difficult dhyāna; 4. all-gate dhyāna; 5. virtuous person dhyāna; 6. all-practice dhyāna; 7. affliction-dispelling dhyāna; 8. dhyāna of joy in this world and the next; 9. purely clean dhyāna. Relying on these dhyānas, the bodhisattva attains the fruit of great awakening, completely fulfilling all buddha-dharmas such as the ten powers, the four fearlessnesses, and the eighteen unshared qualities. This is a brief explanation of how a bodhisattva, from initial aspiration, cultivates dhyāna through sequential practice, sequential study, and the sequential path, up to the buddha-stage, which is called abiding in the deep cavern of dhyāna concentration of great nirvāṇa. This matter will only be fully distinguished in chapters seven (Explanation of Cultivation and Realization) and eight (Revealing the Fruits and Retributions).
