309. Vitthārato āgate pana evaṃ veditabbo.

(不很利慧者的修法)其次详述,当知如是四界差别的修法。

[METHOD OF DEVELOPMENT IN DETAIL]

Ñ(XI,45): The method given in detail should be understood in this way.



Idaṃ kammaṭṭhānaṃ bhāvetukāmena hi nātitikkhapaññena yoginā ācariyasantike dvācattālīsāya ākārehi vitthārato dhātuyo uggaṇhitvā vuttappakāre senāsane viharantena katasabbakiccena rahogatena paṭisallīnena sasambhārasaṅkhepato, sasambhāravibhattito, salakkhaṇasaṅkhepato, salakkhaṇavibhattitoti evaṃ catūhākārehi kammaṭṭhānaṃ bhāvetabbaṃ.

即欲修习此业处而不甚利慧的瑜伽者,亲近阿阇黎,详细地习取了四十二种的界,住于如前面所说的适当的住所,作了一切应作的义务,独居静处,用这样的四种方法修习业处:(一)以简略其机构,(二)以分别其机构,(三)以简略其相,(四)以分别其相。

Ñ: A meditator of not over-quick understanding who wants to develop this meditation subject should learn the elements in detail in the forty-two aspects from a teacher, and he should live in an abode of the kind already described. Then, when he has done all the duties, he should go into solitary retreat and develop the meditation subject in four ways thus: (1) with constituents in brief, (2) with constituents by analysis, (3) with characteristics in brief, and (4) with characteristics by analysis.
