Odātakasiṇakathā

（8）白遍

[THE WHITE KASIṆA]

Notes in Chinese translation:「白遍」（odāta-kasiṇa），《解脱道论》「白一切入」。

97. Odātakasiṇepi odātakasiṇaṃ uggaṇhanto odātasmiṃ nimittaṃ gaṇhāti pupphasmiṃ vā vatthasmiṃ vā vaṇṇadhātuyā vāti vacanato katādhikārassa tāva puññavato tathārūpaṃ mālāgacchaṃ vā vassikasumanādipupphasantharaṃ vā kumudapadumarāsiṃ vā odātavatthadhātūnaṃ vā aññataraṃ disvāva nimittaṃ uppajjati, tipumaṇḍalarajatamaṇḍalacandamaṇḍalesupi uppajjatiyeva.

白遍亦然：「把取白遍者，对于白色的花或布或有颜色的东西而取其白相」，若有过去经验而具福者，则看见任何这样白色的花丛，或梵悉迦、苏曼那等的花席，或白莲的花聚，或白布及有颜色的东西，都能生起于相。或于锡的曼陀罗（圆轮）银的曼陀罗、月的曼陀罗等亦能生起于相。

Ñ(V,19): Of the white kasiṇa it is said: 'One who is learning the white kasiṇa apprehends the sign in white, either in a flower or in a cloth or in a colour element'. So firstly, when someone has merit, having had previous practice, the sign arises in him when he sees a flowering bush of such a kind or vassikasumana (jasmine) flowers, etc., spread out, or a heap of white lotuses or lilies, white cloth or colour element; and it also arises in a tin disk, a silver disk, and the moon's disk.
