Uddhumātakakammaṭṭhānaṃ

[THE BLOATED]



103. Tattha uddhumātakasarīre uddhumātakanimittaṃ uppādetvā uddhumātakasaṅkhātaṃ jhānaṃ bhāvetukāmena yoginā pathavīkasiṇe vuttanayeneva vuttappakāraṃ ācariyaṃ upasaṅkamitvā kammaṭṭhānaṃ uggahetabbaṃ.

(修习法)(一)(膨胀相的修习法)瑜伽者若欲于膨胀之身生起膨胀之相而修称为膨胀之禅的,应该如地遍中所说的方法去亲近阿阇梨而把取业处。

Ñ(VI,12): Herein, when a meditator wants to develop the jhāna called 'of the bloated' by arousing the sign of the bloated on a bloated body, he should in the way already described approach a teacher of the kind mentioned under the earth kasiṇa and learn the meditation subject from him.



Tenassa kammaṭṭhānaṃ kathentena asubhanimittatthāya gamanavidhānaṃ, samantā nimittupalakkhaṇaṃ, ekādasavidhena nimittaggāho, gatāgatamaggapaccavekkhaṇanti evaṃ appanāvidhānapariyosānaṃ sabbaṃ kathetabbaṃ.

那些对瑜伽者说业处的人,对于(1)为取不净相而前行的处所,(2)四方诸相的考察,(3)以十一种法取相,(4)观察(至墓场等)往返的道路,(5)乃至最后的安止规定,都应该说。

Ñ: In explaining the meditation subject to him, the teacher should explain it all, that is, the directions for going with the aim of acquiring the sign of foulness, the characterizing of the surrounding signs, the eleven ways of apprehending the sign, the reviewing of the path gone by and come by, concluding with the directions for absorption.



Tenāpi sabbaṃ sādhukaṃ uggahetvā pubbe vuttappakāraṃ senāsanaṃ upagantvā uddhumātakanimittaṃ pariyesantena vihātabbaṃ.

那些瑜伽者应善学一切,到前面所说的住处,遍求膨胀相而住。

Ñ: And when the meditator has learnt it all well, he should go to an abode of the kind already described and live there while seeking the sign of the bloated.
