釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 1.69

1.69

答曰：通而為論，名義互通；別而往解，四法名義各有主對。所以者何？根本四禪但名禪，非定、三昧，亦不名波羅蜜。無色但名定，非禪、三昧，亦不名波羅蜜。未到地禪、中間，雖非正禪定，是方便故，或名禪，或名定，非三昧，亦不名波羅蜜。空、無相等，但名三昧，非禪、定，亦不名波羅蜜。背捨、勝處、六通、四辯等，具有禪、定、三昧等三法，而不名禪定、三昧，亦非波羅蜜。九次第定具有三法，但名為定，不名禪、三昧，亦非波羅蜜。有覺有觀，及師子、超越、無諍等，亦具三法，但名三昧，不名禪、定，亦非波羅蜜。願智頂等，具有三法，但名禪，不名定、三昧，亦非波羅蜜。九種大禪及首楞嚴等，並具四法，亦名禪，亦名定，亦名三昧，即是波羅蜜。若用首楞嚴心入前三法中，一切皆名波羅蜜，故百波羅蜜中一切法門皆名波羅蜜。

Answer: If discussed generally, their names and meanings mutually interpenetrate; if understood distinctively, the names and meanings of the four dharmas each have their primary designations. Why is this? The fundamental four dhyānas are only named dhyāna; they are not concentration or samādhi, nor are they named pāramitā. The formless [absorptions] are only named concentration; they are not dhyāna or samādhi, nor are they named pāramitā. The anāgamya dhyāna and the intermediate [dhyāna], although not orthodox dhyāna-concentrations, are expedient means, so they are sometimes called dhyāna and sometimes called concentration; they are not samādhi, nor are they called pāramitā. Emptiness, signlessness, and the like are only called samādhis; they are not dhyāna or concentration, nor are they called pāramitā. The liberations, stations of mastery, six supernormal knowledges, four analytical knowledges, and so forth possess all three dharmas—dhyāna, concentration, and samādhi—yet are not named dhyāna-concentration or samādhi, nor are they pāramitā. The nine sequential absorptions possess the three dharmas, but are only named concentration; they are not called dhyāna or samādhi, nor are they pāramitā. That with vitarka and vicāra, as well as the lion's [sprint], transcending, araṇa, and others, also possess the three dharmas, but are only named samādhi; they are not called dhyāna or concentration, nor are they pāramitā. Aspiration-knowledge, summit [dhyāna], and the like possess the three dharmas, but are only named dhyāna; they are not called concentration or samādhi, nor are they pāramitā. The nine kinds of great dhyāna, the śūraṅgama, and so forth all possess the four dharmas; they are named dhyāna, concentration, and samādhi, and are precisely pāramitā. If one enters the former three dharmas with the śūraṅgama mind, all are named pāramitā; therefore, within the one hundred pāramitās, all Dharma gates are called pāramitā.
