第三章。如同天空的本色显现，远离那三个改变颜色的因素的黎明时的天空，共有四种情况。如同那个例子，在心中没有方向和界限地空荡荡的时候，显现出白色光芒的景象，没有其他外境显现，这是心的第一个景象，也叫做空。然后，那个景象也收摄，没有任何其他外境显现，空荡荡的时候，显现出红色或红黄色的光芒的景象，这是景象增长，也叫做极空。然后，那个景象也逐渐收摄，没有任何其他外境显现，显现出如同被黑色光芒覆盖的景象，这是近得，也叫做大空。这两个也是没有方向和界限地显现。在那时，上面还未失去记忆，但从某个时候开始，由于气息融入非常强烈，会突然失去知觉。所有这些都会转变为大乐的自性。然后，当如同黑暗般的景象和无意识清醒时，就像黎明时分晴朗的天空，没有改变颜色的因素一样，会生起无边无际的光明定，也叫做一切空。在四种空的时候，虽然会忆念真如的见解，并结合乐空，但主要是在光明的时刻，因此当光明显现时，只要气息还在运作，在没有离开光明的期间，就要忆念真如的见解，并修持乐空无别。在这四空生起次第圆满的阶段，会生起上降的四喜。因此，在《现观庄严论》中说： “第一喜是智慧， 殊胜喜是平等合。 离喜之喜是大成就， 俱生之喜是无上。” “结合以及极结合， 大结合与智慧合， 这些是胜喜的次第。” “若知明点之结合， 当以微细结合观。” 所说的四喜次第是上降的次第。最后两句的意思是：如果知道了明点瑜伽的修习之义，就要通过文字和微细明点的结合，即修习瑜伽，来观察四喜是如何生起的。

Chapter Three. Like the natural color of the sky appearing, the dawn sky, free from those three factors that change color, there are four situations in total. Like that example, when the mind is empty and vast without direction or limitation, and the appearance of white light arises, with no other external appearances manifesting, this is the first appearance of the mind, also called emptiness. Then, that appearance also contracts, and without any other external appearances, when it is empty and vast, the appearance of red or reddish-yellow light arises, this is the increasing appearance, also called very empty. Then, that appearance also gradually contracts, and without any other external appearances, an appearance arises that is like being covered by black light, this is near attainment, also called great emptiness. These two also appear without direction or limitation. At that time, the upper part has not lost memory, but from a certain point, due to the very strong absorption of breath, one suddenly goes into unconsciousness. All of these transform into the nature of great bliss. Then, when the appearance like darkness and unconsciousness clears, just like the clear dawn sky, without the factors that change color, a luminous samadhi without beginning or end arises, also called all emptiness. During all four emptinesses, although one remembers the view of suchness and combines bliss and emptiness, the main thing is the time of luminosity, so when that arises, as long as the breath is moving, as long as one has not moved from the luminosity, one should remember the view of suchness and meditate on the inseparability of bliss and emptiness. During this stage of the completion phase of the four emptinesses, the four joys of descending arise. Therefore, in the Abhisamayalankara it says: "The first joy is wisdom, The supreme joy is equal union. The joy beyond joy is great accomplishment, The simultaneous joy is unsurpassed." "Union and extreme union, Great union and wisdom union, These are the stages of excellent joy." "If you know the union of bindus, you should observe with subtle union." The order of the four joys mentioned is the order of descending. The meaning of the last two lines is: if you know the meaning of practicing bindu yoga, you should observe how the four joys arise through the combination of letters and subtle bindus, that is, by practicing yoga.
