釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 6.19

6.19

Answer: Although internally there is neither prīti nor sukha, one takes external marks of joyful and blissful persons as the condition and gives them bliss impartially. For example, a practitioner who has left desire does not need the five dusts himself, nor is he tainted by sensory desire; yet for the sake of great blessings and virtues, he also bestows the superior and wonderful pleasurable requisites of the five desires upon the other person, while his own mind remains unstained. Giving others joy and bliss within the fourth dhyāna is also like this. Anāgamya and the intermediate dhyāna can be understood by analogy.
