5.27

"When a bodhisattva-mahāsattva wishes to attain dhāraṇī-samādhis and the four unobstructed knowledges, walking day and night with his entire body light or heavy, initially training in the contemplation of dharmas and leaving the ground, first by [the height of] an āmalaka fruit, gradually by a vibhītaka fruit, then by a harītakī fruit, leaving the ground by the shadow of a finger, and gradually leaving the ground by the shadow of seven people—this is mundane dhyāna, the study of ordinary beings and ṛṣis; the bodhisattva trains in it without abiding in it, and this is called 'exhaustible'. With the mind unobstructed in supernormal knowledges, neither abiding in the five supernormal knowledges nor not abiding in them, understanding that all dharmas and the nature of dharmas are naturally so, and that ignorance and the reality-limit are all naturally so, yet without naturalness—what is naturalness? Not seeing naturalness, there is no naturalness—this is called 'inexhaustible'."
