Their marks are not one; two matters are briefly set forth: first, the concentration mind is excessively bright; second, it is excessively dark. Both are deviant concentrations. As for excessive brightness: when entering concentration, one sees external objects of blue, yellow, red, and white, or sees the sun, moon, stars, palaces, and such things; or for a day, up to seven days, without emerging from dhyāna-concentration, one sees all things as if having attained supernormal knowledges. This is deviant; one must quickly dispel it. Second: if entering this concentration is dark and suddenly without perception, no different from deep sleep, this is a mind-lacking notion-state, which can cause the practitioner to generate an inverted mind; one must quickly cast it away. These briefly explain the marks of deviant concentrations; the obstacles and difficulties within cannot be fully transmitted in writing. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.5.38) - [Next: 5.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.5.40) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.5.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.5.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.5.39) · Pramāṇa
