5.16

Furthermore, regarding the first dhyāna, it is also called the samādhi with vitarka and vicāra. Because some people doubted whether there could be absorption in a mind with vitarka and vicāra, the Buddha therefore spoke of the samādhi with vitarka and vicāra. The Bodhisattvabhūmi states: "It is named the dhyāna associated with vitarka and vicāra." When this dhyāna arises, it must arise together with vitarka and vicāra; it is also called the absorption of noble Dharma-teaching. Because the path of speech consisting of vitarka and vicāra has not yet been severed within this absorption, it is given the name "teaching the Dharma." Such are the various different names.
