釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 10.98

10.98

答曰：有異。彼則但明根本攝心，今遍約一切諸禪中明攝心當如此，則定深而廣，豈得不異？復次，根本禪但是緣事攝心，未斷邪倒，不名端直。今明三昧，並據緣理攝心，能斷邪倒之曲，故以心端直處為三昧也。

Answer: There is a difference. That merely explains concentration of mind in the fundamental [dhyānas], whereas here concentration of mind is explained universally across all dhyānas in this manner; thus the absorption is deep and vast—how could it not be different? Furthermore, fundamental dhyāna merely concentrates the mind conditioned on phenomena and has not yet severed crookedness and inverted views; it is not called upright and straight. The samādhis explained now are entirely based on concentrating the mind conditioned on the principle, able to sever the crookedness of inverted views; therefore, where the mind is upright and straight is taken as samādhi.
