釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 3.143

3.143

答曰：發禪有二種：一者、現前方便修得；二者、發宿世善根。若事修還發事禪者，多是修得。若事修而發理、發非事非理等諸禪三昧者，悉是發宿世禪定善根也。如數人辨有二種修義：一、得修；二、行修。得修，名本所未得。行修，名本已曾得。今此類然，故約事修，則發禪有四種不定。

Answer: There are two kinds of arising of dhyāna: first, attained through cultivating present expedient means; second, the arising of wholesome roots from past lives. If phenomenal cultivation in turn gives rise to phenomenal dhyāna, it is mostly attained through cultivation. If phenomenal cultivation gives rise to various dhyānas and samādhis of principle, or of neither phenomena nor principle, all are the arising of wholesome roots of dhyāna absorption from past lives. Just as the Sarvāstivādins distinguish two kinds of cultivation: first, attainment-cultivation; second, practice-cultivation. Attainment-cultivation refers to what was not previously attained. Practice-cultivation refers to what had already been attained previously. The present case is of this sort; therefore, in terms of phenomenal cultivation, there are four kinds of indeterminate arising of dhyāna.
