Samadhi (3)

There are two kinds of samadhi in volume 28 of Da Zhi Du Lun: (1) samadhi in Sheng Wen FA, i.e. empty samadhi, Wu Yuan samadhi and Wu Zuo samadhi; (2) samadhi in Mahayana FA, i.e. samadhi with perception, without perception and without perception. Secondly, in the triple samadhi, there are the empty samadhi, the formless samadhi, the formless samadhi, and the formless Samadhi. According to the above two theories, samadhi in the narrow sense refers to samadhi of emptiness and equality, while in the broad sense it refers to the four Chan and other fixed points.


In primitive Buddhism, such as ahan and other classics, samadhi is generally the samadhi of four Chan and eight Ding, emptiness, no phase, no wish and awareness. There are countless samadhi in Mahayana scriptures, such as the one in fahua Sutra, the six in the old version of Huayan Sutra, the fifteen in Dafang et al. Daji Sutra, the eleven in Chaori Ming samadhi Sutra, and the eight samadhi in DAPIN Prajna Sutra. There are also many samadhi classics with samadhi as the main content, such as the samadhi Sutra of banzhou, the samadhi Sutra of Huiyin, the samadhi Sutra of self oath, the samadhi Sutra of Foyin, the samadhi Sutra of chanting Buddha, the samadhi Sutra of Vajra, etc.

Samadhi (2)

It refers to the state of meditation. It is the state that the heart of the practitioner is fixed in one place but not scattered.

He was also called samadhi, samadhi and Samadhi. In free translation, it means to be determined, to be equal, to receive, to be adjusted, to be right, to be right, to be calm. Samadhi means that the mind is fixed in one place, so it is called "fixed"; the mind that keeps equal and keeps away from breathing and lifting is called "equal holding"; the mind that is being observed is called "right receiving"; the mind that is disordered is adjusted to make it upright, so it is called "straight setting"; the action of the mind that is in line with the law is called "right heart action"; the mind that stops worrying, condenses the mind, so it is said that the mind will stop worrying.

There are two kinds of mental functions: one is the innate ability of mental concentration, and the other is the increased concentration due to postnatal efforts. The former is the result of previous karma, while the latter comes from practice. When the mind reaches the state of samadhi, it corrects the wisdom, and then combines with the observed environment. It clearly knows and realizes the truth, and even directly feels the holy land. This is called samadhi FA De, or FA Ding. We can see that Samadhi is the necessary stage of enlightenment.

However, different schools hold different views on Samadhi. Jushe sect regards it as one of the ten laws of the earth, while Weizhi sect regards it as one of the five states. The two schools regard it as one of the places of the mind, and think that the mind is controlled by the mind, so it can live in the same place. However, the Ministry of scriptures thinks that the mind continues to change in the same place, and it is named Samadhi. Chengshilun claims that Samadhi is the same as the mind, that is, both of them are not allowed to exist in another place.
