六妙法門 1.13

1.13

此即與前有異。所以者何？如數有二種：一者修數，二者證數。修數者，行者調和氣息，不澁不滑，安詳徐數，從一至十，攝心在數，不令馳散，是名修數。證數者，覺心任運，從一至十，不加功力，心住息緣，覺息虛微，心相漸細。

This is different from the preceding. Why is this? As with counting, there are two kinds: first, cultivating counting; second, realizing counting. Cultivating counting: the practitioner regulates the breath so that it is neither rough nor slippery, and calmly and slowly counts from one to ten, collecting the mind on the count without letting it race or scatter; this is called cultivating counting. Realizing counting: one perceives the mind moving spontaneously from one to ten without applying effort; the mind abides in the breath as its object, perceives the breath to be insubstantial and subtle, and the mental aspects gradually become subtle.
