釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 3.40

3.40

一、地輪者，如地有二義：一者、住持不動；二者、出生萬物。行者因止若證未到地定，忽然湛心，自覺身心相空，泯然入定，定法持心不動，故名住持。因未到地出生初禪種種功德，事同出生萬物。

First, the earth-wheel: Earth has two meanings: first, upholding without moving; second, generating myriad things. If through stopping the practitioner realizes the concentration of the anāgamya, the mind suddenly becomes limpid, and one naturally perceives the marks of body and mind to be empty, obliterated into absorption; the absorption-dharma upholds the mind without moving, and hence it is called 'upholding'. Because the anāgamya generates the various virtues of the first dhyāna, the matter is identical to generating myriad things.
