Second, examining and determining concealing and generating: because the current cultivation of dhyāna by sentient beings is not uniform, one should make a fourfold distinction: 1. there are cases where although one violates the precepts, absorption is generated, while keeping them does not generate it; 2. there are cases where breaking the precepts does not generate absorption, while keeping the precepts generates it; 3. there are cases where both keeping and violating the precepts generate it; 4. there are cases where neither keeping nor violating generates it.
