[(2) THE BASE CONSISTING OF BOUNDLESS CONSCIOUSNESS]

281. Viññāṇañcāyatanaṃ bhāvetukāmena pana pañcahākārehi ākāsānañcāyatanasamāpattiyaṃ ciṇṇavasībhāvena ‘‘āsannarūpāvacarajjhānapaccatthikā ayaṃ samāpatti, no ca viññāṇañcāyatanamiva santā’’ti ākāsānañcāyatane ādīnavaṃ disvā tattha nikantiṃ pariyādāya viññāṇañcāyatanaṃ santato manasikaritvā taṃ ākāsaṃ pharitvā pavattaviññāṇaṃ ‘‘viññāṇaṃ viññāṇa’’nti punappunaṃ āvajjitabbaṃ, manasikātabbaṃ, paccavekkhitabbaṃ, takkāhataṃ vitakkāhataṃ kātabbaṃ.

（识无边处业处的修法）欲求修习识无边处（业处）者，曾以五种行相于空无边处定修习自在，他看见了空无边处有这样的过患：「此（空无边处）定依然近于色界禅之敌，不及识无边处的寂静」，欲求离去空无边处，于识无边处的寂静作意，便对那遍满虚空而起的识：「识、识」的数数念虑，作意，观察与思惟。

Ñ(X,25): When he wants to develop the base consisting of boundless consciousness, he must first achieve mastery in the five ways in the attainment of the base consisting of boundless space. Then he should see the danger in the base consisting of boundless space in this way: 'This attainment has fine-material jhāna as its near enemy, and it is not as peaceful as the base consisting of boundless consciousness'. So having ended his attachment to that, he should give his attention to the base consisting of boundless consciousness as peaceful, adverting again and again as 'consciousness, consciousness' to the consciousness that occurred pervading that space [as its object]. He should give it attention, review it, and strike at it with applied and sustained thought; [332]

‘‘Anantaṃ ananta’’nti pana na manasikātabbaṃ.

但不是「无边、无边」这样的作意。 [PTS 332]

Ñ: but he should not give attention [simply] in this way 'boundless, boundless'.
