釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 3.156

3.156

此一往通論，略出六十四種。若具約三乘人根性分別，則有一百九十二種發禪之異。若細歷諸禪，及約邪正辨發相分別，則有無量。今此皆是就行人心地分別，非是虛設之言。當知禪定發法不可思議，乃是諸佛菩薩境界，尚非二乘所量，豈是凡夫之所能測？若行者欲自行化他，必須少分識之，寧可謬自師心，則有自損損他之失，己所修治，為無慧利。

Discussing this broadly in a preliminary manner, sixty-four kinds have been briefly presented. If fully distinguished according to the faculties and natures of people of the three vehicles, there are one hundred and ninety-two differences in the manifestation of dhyāna. If one goes into detail through the various dhyānas and distinguishes by identifying the characteristics of manifestation as perverse or correct, they are immeasurable. All of these now are distinctions made with respect to the mental states of practitioners, not empty assertions. One should know that the manifestation of phenomena in dhyāna absorption is inconceivable; it is the domain of buddhas and bodhisattvas, beyond the measure of even the two vehicles—how could it be fathomed by ordinary beings? If practitioners wish to practice for themselves and transform others, they must understand at least a small portion of this; how could one wrongly follow one's own subjective mind? To do so entails the fault of harming oneself and harming others, and what one cultivates and manages will yield no benefit of wisdom.
