大乘起信論略述 2.186

2.186

[Treatise:] Not relying on breathing ... seeing, hearing, perceiving, and knowing. [Exposition:] From here is the second [subdivision], the sequence of cultivating calm. Here there are two parts: first, cultivating calm based on sitting; later, [cultivating it while] arising in other postures as well. Within the first part there are also three: first, departing from inverted objects and mind; later, eliminating lost mindfulness. This is the first. "Breathing" is an object of contemplation. "Forms and colors" are the four marks of blue, yellow, red, and white, such as skeletons, etc. The five totalities (kṛtsna) such as space, earth, and water are all objects of sensory space. Seeing, hearing, perceiving, and knowing is the consciousness-totality. Together with the preceding, this clarifies the ten totalities. Regarding all these objects, one examines and fully comprehends them, knowing them to be only one's own mind and no longer relying on conditions; therefore it is said "not relying."
