[PTS 198](一)佛随念

于此十随念中,先说为欲修习佛随念而证信具足的瑜伽行者,当于适当的住所独居静处禅思「彼世尊亦即是阿罗汉,等正觉者,明行具足者,善逝,世间解,无上士,调御丈夫,天人师,佛,世尊」,应该如是随念于佛世尊的功德。

[(1) RECOLLECTION OF THE ENLIGHTENED ONE]

Ñ(VII,2): [198] Now a meditator with absolute confidence who wants to develop firstly the recollection of the Enlightened One among these ten should go into solitary retreat in a favourable abode and recollect the special qualities of the Enlightened One, the Blessed One, as follows: 'That Blessed One is such since he is accomplished, fully enlightened, endowed with [clear] vision and [virtuous] conduct, sublime, the knower of worlds, the incomparable leader of men to be tamed, the teacher of gods and men, enlightened and blessed' (M.i,37; A.iii,285).
