釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 3.56

3.56

初、明行者若坐中靜定，忽見種種衣服、臥具、飲食、珍寶、田園、池沼、車乘。如是等事，或復因心靜故，自能捨離慳貪，心行惠施，無所悋惜。當知此是過去、今生布施，習、報二種善根發相。

First, explaining that when practitioners are quietly concentrated in sitting, they suddenly see various clothing, bedding, food and drink, rare jewels, fields and gardens, ponds, and carriages. When such things happen, or alternatively, due to the mind's tranquility, they are naturally able to abandon stinginess and greed, and practice generosity in their minds without any attachment or begrudging. One should know that this is the sign of the arising of the two kinds of wholesome roots—habitual and retributive—of giving from past lives or the present life.
