釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 10.58

10.58

次釋青、黃、赤、白四勝處者，行者不受三禪身證之樂，入第四禪時，念慧清淨，四色轉更光顯，如妙寶光明，勝於前色，故名勝處。復次，行者於四禪中用不動智慧鍊此四色，少能多，多能少，轉變自在，欲見即見，欲滅即滅，故名勝處。復次，行者於三昧中見是勝色，結漏未斷，或時法愛心生，為斷法愛，諦觀此色，知從心起，譬如幻師觀所幻色，知從心生，則不生著，是時背捨變名勝處。

Next, explaining the four stations of mastery of blue, yellow, red, and white: the practitioner does not accept the bliss of bodily realization in the third dhyāna; when entering the fourth dhyāna, mindfulness and wisdom are pure, and the four colors become all the more radiant, like the brilliance of exquisite gems, surpassing the previous colors; hence they are called stations of mastery. Furthermore, the practitioner uses unshakeable wisdom in the fourth dhyāna to refine these four colors, making the few many, and the many few, transforming them freely, seeing them when wishing to see, and extinguishing them when wishing to extinguish; hence they are called stations of mastery. Furthermore, when the practitioner sees these superior forms in samādhi, if their fetters and outflows are not yet severed, affection for the Dharma may sometimes arise in the mind; to sever affection for the Dharma, they carefully contemplate these forms and know they arise from the mind—just as an illusionist contemplates illusory forms, knowing they arise from the mind, and therefore does not generate attachment—at that time the liberations change their name to stations of mastery.
