釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 10.60

10.60

次釋十一切遍處法門。十一切處者：一、青；二、黃；三、赤；四、白；五、地；六、水；七、火；八、風；九、空；十、識。此十通名一切處者，一一色各照十方遍滿，故名一切處，乃至空亦如是。前背捨、勝處雖有八色，所照既狹，未能普遍，是以不得受一切之名。

Next, explaining the Dharma gate of the ten all-pervading totality spheres. The ten totality spheres are: (1) blue, (2) yellow, (3) red, (4) white, (5) earth, (6) water, (7) fire, (8) wind, (9) space, and (10) consciousness. These ten are collectively called totality spheres because each single color shines throughout and pervades the ten directions; therefore they are called totality spheres, and so on up to space, which is also like this. Although the earlier liberations and stations of mastery have eight colors, what they illuminate is narrow and not yet pervasive; for this reason they do not receive the name of "totality."
