Sixth, all-practices dhyāna. What is the bodhisattva's 'all-practices dhyāna'? It refers to six kinds and seven kinds, stated in brief as thirteen kinds: wholesome dhyāna, indeterminate transformational dhyāna, the śamatha aspect, the vipaśyanā aspect, benefit for self and others, right-mindfulness dhyāna, dhyāna generating the meritorious qualities of supernormal powers, objectifying names, objectifying meanings, objectifying the signs of śamatha, objectifying the signs of elevation, objectifying the signs of equanimity, and dhyāna of dwelling happily in the present dharma of the ultimate truth—these thirteen kinds are the bodhisattva's all-practices dhyāna.
