釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 7.77

7.77

今明悟道未必應須具十六，或得三二特勝，即便得悟。亦利根者，初隨息時，覺悟無常，即便悟道。此隨人不定也。從初以來，俱發根本定，故名亦有漏；於中觀行，破析不著，名亦無漏。故云特勝是亦有漏亦無漏禪。此竪對三界諸禪者，則一一觀法相，至義可見也。

Now, to clarify: awakening to the path does not necessarily require all sixteen; one may attain two or three sublime practices and immediately awaken. Also, one with sharp faculties may, upon first following the breath, awaken to impermanence and immediately attain the path. This varies according to the person and is not fixed. Because from the beginning the fundamental absorptions are co-activated, they are called “also defiled”; because within them one practices contemplation, analyzing and not clinging, they are called “also undefiled.” Therefore it is said that the sublime practices are dhyānas that are both defiled and undefiled. As for their vertical correspondence to the various dhyānas of the three realms, the characteristics of each contemplation can be seen in their ultimate meaning.
