釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 10.22

10.22

行者復當從頭至足，深鍊骨人，還復攝心，諦觀於額，住心緣中。復見八色光明旋轉而出。如是次第定心，觀髮際、頂、兩耳孔、眉骨、眼骨、鼻、口、齒、頷骨、頸項骨。從上至下，三百六十諸骨諸節，悉見八色光明旋轉而出。行者攝心轉細，從頭至足，從足至頭，觀此骨人，悉見遍身放光，普照一切，悉皆明淨。若是菩薩大士，咸於光中見諸佛像；若行人善根劣弱，乃至四禪，方得見諸佛像。

The practitioner should again deeply refine the skeleton from head to foot, and then withdraw the mind, carefully contemplating the forehead, keeping the mind abiding on the object. Again they see light of eight colors rotating and emerging. Stilling the mind in sequence like this, they contemplate the hairline, crown, both ear canals, brow bones, eye sockets, nose, mouth, teeth, jawbone, and neck bones. From top to bottom, all the three hundred and sixty bones and joints are seen emitting light of eight colors rotating and emerging. As the practitioner's concentration becomes progressively subtler, from head to foot and from foot to head, contemplating this skeleton, they see the entire body radiating light, illuminating everything everywhere, all utterly luminous and pure. If it is a great bodhisattva, they will see images of the Buddhas within the light; if the practitioner's virtuous roots are weak and inferior, only upon reaching the fourth dhyāna will they be able to see the images of the Buddhas.
