3.124

復次,若觸內發時,或見三十六物,或發慈心因緣,正智念佛等諸餘禪定。若有功德安隱如法,資益觸樂,亦是宿世善根發,各有十種正相,並是正定。但欲修根本禪定成就者,悉不得取是相,若謝、不謝,於根本禪無所妨也。然末世行者善根微薄,證觸之時,多不發諸餘事理。禪中境界,今恐有發者不識故,略出此意。餘十四門禪發正相亦當如是,一一自類廣分別之。

Furthermore, when the sensation arises internally, one may see the thirty-six bodily parts, or generate the causes and conditions of a mind of loving-kindness, right knowledge, mindfulness of the Buddha, and other various dhyāna absorptions. If there are merits that are peaceful, secure, and in accord with the Dharma, nourishing and benefiting the pleasure of the sensation, these too are the arising of wholesome roots from past lives. Each possesses ten kinds of correct marks, and all are right absorptions. However, for those who wish to cultivate and accomplish root dhyāna absorptions, none may grasp at these marks; whether they pass away or do not pass away does not hinder the root dhyāna. Nevertheless, the wholesome roots of practitioners in the latter age are slight and meager; at the time of realizing the sensation, most do not manifest the various other phenomena and principles. Regarding the realms within dhyāna, fearing now that there are those in whom they arise but who do not recognize them, I briefly present this intention. The arising of correct marks in the other fourteen gates of dhyāna should also be like this, differentiated extensively each within its own kind.
