釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 8.47

8.47

行者初得覺支成就，即覺身息不實，猶如芭蕉。　今得住此一心，定支成就。心既寂靜，於後泯然微細，即覺身息之相不實，猶如聚沫。是則略明下根行者證通明初禪之相。

When the practitioner first attains the fulfillment of the vitarka factor, he perceives that the body and breath are unreal, just like a plantain tree. Now, attaining this resting in one mind, the samādhi factor is fulfilled. When the mind is tranquil, and subsequently becomes subtle and obliterated, he then perceives that the marks of the body and breath are unreal, just like a cluster of foam. This is a brief explanation of the characteristics of a practitioner of lower faculties realizing the penetrating clarity of the first dhyāna.
