論。復次若人至是修觀　述曰。上顯修止。下顯修觀。於中有三。初修觀之意。次辨所修觀相。後結觀分齊。此初也。若唯修止。便有四失。一心沈沒失。息緣偏寂順癡相故。二起懈怠失。其心止息棄餘業故。三不樂味。寂靜輕眾善故。四不起大悲失。不觀苦境自樂寂故。

[Treatise:] Furthermore, if a person [... this is cultivating insight]. [Exposition:] Above showed the cultivation of calm; below shows the cultivation of insight (vipaśyanā). Within this there are three: first, the intention to cultivate insight; second, discerning the characteristics of insight cultivated; third, concluding the scope of insight. This is the first. If one only cultivates calm, there are four faults: first, the fault of mind sinking, because resting conditions and being one-sidedly quiescent accords with the characteristic of delusion; second, the fault of giving rise to laxity, because resting the mind leads to abandoning other activities; third, not taking delight in savoring, because being quiescent leads to slighting wholesome deeds; fourth, the fault of not giving rise to great compassion, because not contemplating the realm of suffering leads to delighting only in one's own quiescence.
