那里有生处。在那里,下方的众生们进入禅定寂止的单一方向,从下方稍微堕落。仅仅是彼此之间的意识。从变化的意之结合中,那些众生繁衍众多。仅仅知道形态、地域的毁灭,仅仅是执着于自我。仅仅知道尽头。没有收集的实物。从那些之中出生,众生的形体无限繁衍,这被称为无边识处。那些也比上方的寿命短,身体矮小,光彩不明显,这是福德衰败的征兆。在那些之下两千由旬处,有被称为大云遍游的虚空,那里有各种颜色的云朵片段间隔分布。在那里,上方的众生如水滴般降落。又虚空被云朵分割成片段,意识从中繁衍,众生无数繁衍。然后被命名为无边虚空处。这四个也仅仅安住于显现的光之无色中。没有血肉之躯,仅仅安住于意识。没有变化的意之身,因此意识在内部清晰。没有感受痛苦之身,因此安住于喜乐之中。因此被称为无色。界是那些聚集之处。从那些之中,无边虚空之心散发出来。在那之下二十千由旬处,在珍宝编织的地面上,内外通透,彼此上下也被风吹动而行。在那里,意识被分割成片段。从显现为光芒中,从之前的意识变成一体,具有口、眼、耳的光之身,完全通透,无数繁衍。这些也行走、漂浮、飘动等,也是由光和风所为。那些众生的住所,是从上方的无色界之下,因此被称为非下,即低于上方。高于其他,因此被称为人。这些的身体、寿命、光芒、福德和宫殿等,在其他地方已阐述。那也是上方之识

There is a place of origin. There, those lower beings enter into a single direction of meditative quiescence, falling slightly from below. There is only consciousness of each other. From the changing union of mind, those beings multiply greatly. They only know the destruction of forms and regions, and only cling to self. They only know the end. There is no object of collection. Born from those, the forms of beings spread infinitely, which is called the sphere of infinite consciousness. Those also have shorter lifespans than the higher ones, their bodies are smaller, and their radiance is not clear, which is a sign of the decline of merit. Below those, at a distance of two thousand yojanas, there is a space called the Great Cloud Wandering, where fragments of clouds of various colors are distributed at intervals. There, those higher beings descend like drops of water. Again, the sky is divided into fragments by clouds, and consciousness spreads from it, and countless beings multiply. Then it is named the sphere of infinite space. These four also abide only in the formless appearance of light, only in consciousness. Without a body of flesh and blood, they abide only in consciousness. Without a changing body of mind, consciousness is clear within. Without a body of suffering, they abide in joy and happiness. Therefore, it is called formless. The realm is the place where those gather. From those, the mind of infinite space radiates. Below that, at twenty thousand yojanas, on a ground adorned with woven jewels, it is transparent inside and out, and they move and travel up and down by the wind. There, consciousness is divided into fragments. From the appearance of light, from the previous consciousness becoming one, the body of light with mouth, eyes, and ears, completely transparent, multiplies infinitely. These also walk, float, and drift, etc., also done by light and wind. The dwelling place of those beings is below the formless realms above, therefore it is called "not below," meaning lower than above. Higher than others, therefore it is called "human." Their bodies, lifespans, light, merit, and palaces, etc., have been explained elsewhere. That is also the consciousness of the above

仅仅是这样没有身体。在这里,因为以清净的光的身体成立,所以是色。如何成为色呢?因为像图画的形状一样存在,所以称为色。那也是有因的色,没有果的十一种色等,实际上是依靠上面的智慧。在那下面,有以青金石装饰的虚空,在那里,上面的众生的智慧的习气消逝落下,从中,无量的众生繁衍,从中产生名为“非常可见”的众生,彼此相见感到高兴,因此称为“见则喜”。比上面的众生,身体、寿命和光等都小。在那下面,在极其美丽的珍宝之地上,从上面的众生繁衍出无量的名为“殊妙显现”的众生。这些众生也有从何处产生,由何物构成等,但这里没有写。因为他们认为上面的众生殊妙,所以称为殊妙。在那下面,从红花色的珍宝虚空中产生不苦恼的众生。在那下面,在用珍宝水晶小屋堆砌的虚空中,名为“不大”的众生无量地形成。上面的不苦恼是,无论显现出什么快乐的景象,对它都没有苦恼,因此称为不苦恼。因为从那产生的不苦恼不大,所以称为不大。在那下面,当用极其美丽的珍宝装饰时,又有一些上面的天神落下,从中繁衍出无量的名为“大果”的众生,这些都是从善业的大果报中产生的。因此称为大果。在那下面,有以美丽的蓝黑色珍宝装饰的虚空,在那里,又有一些众生像从上面滴落一样消失,从中产生了名为“福德生”的众生。那些是从先前积累的无量福德中产生的。这也因为福德的集合从快乐中产生,所以称为福德生。在那下面,有名为“浓云”的珍宝虚空。在那里,上面的众生消失,从中繁衍出无量的名为“无云光”的众生。那也是缓慢而平静的

It is merely thus, without a body. Here, because it is established as a body of pure light, it is form. How does it become form? Because it exists like the shape of a drawing, it is called form. That is also the form of the cause, and the eleven forms of the fruit, etc., do not actually exist, but rely on the wisdom above. Below that, there is a sky adorned with lapis lazuli, where the habitual tendencies of the consciousness of the beings above vanish and fall, and from that, immeasurable beings propagate, and from that, beings called "very visible" arise. Because they are happy to see each other, they are called "happy to see." Compared to the beings above, their bodies, lifespans, and light, etc., are smaller. Below that, on the ground of extremely beautiful jewels, immeasurable beings called "exquisite appearance" propagate from the beings above. These beings also have where they come from and what they are made of, etc., but it is not written here. Because they consider the beings above to be exquisite, they are called exquisite. Below that, from the sky of saffron-colored jewels, beings who do not suffer arise. Below that, in the sky stacked with jewel crystal houses, immeasurable beings called "not large" are formed. The non-suffering above is that no matter what happy appearance manifests, there is no suffering for it, so it is called non-suffering. Because the non-suffering that arises from that is not large, it is called not large. Below that, when adorned with extremely beautiful jewels, some of the gods above fall again, and from that, immeasurable beings called "great fruit" propagate, and these all arise from the great fruit of virtuous deeds. Therefore, it is called great fruit. Below that, there is a sky adorned with beautiful dark blue jewels, where some beings disappear like droplets from above, and from that, beings called "merit-born" arise. Those arise from the immeasurable merit accumulated previously. This also, because the collection of merit arises from happiness, is called merit-born. Below that, there is a jewel sky called "dense clouds." There, the beings above disappear, and from that, immeasurable beings called "cloudless light" propagate. That is also slow and peaceful.

由于具有运行速度且类似于无云的太阳,因此被称为无云光。被称为其光。在其下方,在名为“散发珍宝之光”的虚空中,又有一些无云光的运行中断,从而产生了名为“无量功德”的无量运行。这些是因为行持无量功德之根本,所以被称为无量功德。在其下方,在名为“以珍宝因陀罗尼蓝装饰”的虚空中,又有一些比功德之习气更广阔的无量功德的运行中断,从而产生了名为“功德增长”的无量运行。这些是因为仅仅行持比前者增长的功德,所以被称为功德增长。在其下方,在名为“以珍宝莲花装饰”的虚空中,有一些功德增长的习气消失的运行中断,从而产生了名为“小功德”的不可思议的运行。这也是因为比前者功德的部分小,所以被称为小功德。在其下方,在名为“以宝石凯凯鲁装饰”的虚空中,从想到比前者功德小之间,有一些运行坠落,从而产生了名为“无量光”的无量运行。这些是因为自己的身体具有无量光,所以被称为无量光。在其下方,在名为“珍宝光辉堆积”的虚空中,从前者的光芒完全混乱中产生了一些运行,从而产生了名为“光明”的无量运行。这也是因为仅仅行持光明,所以被称为光明。在其下方,在名为“珍宝勇猛之光”的虚空中,从前者的光明中产生了一些运行中断,从而产生了名为“小光”的无量运行。因为比前者光小,所以被称为小光。在其下方,在名为“珍宝玛吉”的虚空中,从前者的光芒消失中产生了一些中断,从而产生了名为“梵天祈请”的无量运行。这也是因为他们各自的祈请中都有各自的意义,所以被称为祈请。在其下方,在名为“珍宝极度斯卡达”的虚空中,从前者的祈请之处产生了一些运行中断,从而产生了名为“梵天”的无量运行。这也是因为

Because it possesses the speed of movement and resembles the appearance of a cloudless sun, it is called Cloudless Light. It is called its light. Below that, in the sky called "Emanating the Light of Jewels," some movements of Cloudless Light are interrupted, thus generating immeasurable movements called Immeasurable Merit. These are called Immeasurable Merit because they engage in the root of merit, which is immeasurable. Below that, in the sky called "Adorned with Jewels of Indra Blue," some movements of immeasurable merit, wider than the habit of merit, are interrupted, thus generating immeasurable movements called Merit Increase. These are called Merit Increase because they only engage in the merit that has increased from the previous one. Below that, in the sky called "Adorned with Jewels of Padmakaling," some movements of the habit of increasing merit disappear, thus generating inconceivable movements called Small Merit. This is also called Small Merit because the portion of merit is smaller than the previous one. Below that, in the sky called "Adorned with Jewels of Kekeru," from thinking that the merit is smaller than the previous one, some movements fall, thus generating immeasurable movements called Immeasurable Light. These are called Immeasurable Light because their own bodies possess immeasurable light. Below that, in the sky called "Jewel Splendor Stacked," from the complete confusion of the previous light, some movements arise, thus generating immeasurable movements called Clear Light. This is also called Clear Light because it only engages in clear light. Below that, in the sky called "Jewel Courageous Light," some movements are interrupted from the previous clear light, thus generating immeasurable movements called Small Light. It is called Small Light because the light is smaller than the previous one. Below that, in the sky called "Jewel Magi," some interruptions arise from the fading of the previous light, thus generating immeasurable movements called Brahma Invocation. This is also called Invocation because each of their invocations has its own meaning. Below that, in the sky called "Jewel Extremely Skata," some movements are interrupted from the place of the previous invocation, thus generating immeasurable movements called Brahma. This is also because

由于行为符合梵行,所以称为梵天。关于这些众生的身体大小、寿命、光芒、福德、住所和显现方式,以及从何处产生、未来投生何处,以及每个宫殿的大小等等,都在其他地方有说明。这些被称为色界,因为色是指光明和形色等享用。界是指众多聚集和汇合之处。上面的不享用光明和形色,所以称为无色界,下面的享用这些,所以称为色界。这些产生了十七种不同的种类,这是由于业力积累的差别所致。其中,下面形成了欲界,这是因为贪求上界的享受,所以称为欲界。虽然如此贪求,但并非通过业力积累的差别而获得,而是因为这些众生具有显现的知觉,所以是从看见而产生的。在那之下,从如意宝树的极度繁茂中,如果上界的梵天众生有些堕落,由于先前积累的差别而堕落,就会繁衍出无数的他化自在天的众生。这是因为仅仅是从其他身体化生而来,所以称为他化自在,即对他人的化生拥有自在。关于这些众生的寿命等等,在其他地方有说明。在那之下,在名为可见美妙的如意宝树处,上界的那些众生有些堕落,就会繁衍出无数的化乐天的众生。这是因为从自身的光芒中化生出千子、百子或无数的化身而感到快乐,所以称为化乐天。在那之下,在名为目标美妙的如意宝树处,上界的那些众生有些堕落,就会繁衍出无数的兜率天的众生。这是因为仅仅享用快乐,所以称为兜率天。在那之下,在名为心意变化的如意宝树处,又从上界繁衍出无数的离诤天的众生。之所以称为离诤天,是因为不与阿修罗争斗,所以称为离诤天。在那之下,在名为完全聚集的处所的如意宝树处,有些离边的众生堕落,又

Because their conduct aligns with pure conduct, they are called Brahmas. Regarding these beings, their body size, lifespan, radiance, merit, abode, and how they appear, as well as from where they originate, where they will be reborn, and the size of each palace, etc., are explained elsewhere. These are called the Form Realm (Rūpadhātu), because "form" refers to the enjoyment of light and shapes, etc. "Realm" refers to a place where many gather and congregate. The higher realms do not enjoy light and shapes, so they are called the Formless Realm (Arūpadhātu), while the lower ones enjoy these, hence they are the Form Realm. These arise in seventeen different kinds, which result from the differences in the accumulation of karma. Among them, the Desire Realm (Kāmadhātu) is formed below, because they desire the enjoyments of the higher realms, hence it is called the Desire Realm. Although they desire in this way, it is not obtained through the differences in the accumulation of karma, but rather because these beings have a part of manifest awareness, so it arises from seeing. Below that, from the extremely flourishing wish-fulfilling jewel tree, if some of the Brahma beings of the higher realms fall, due to the differences accumulated in the past, countless beings of the Paranirmitavasavartin arise. This is because they arise merely from transforming from other bodies, hence they are called Paranirmitavasavartin, meaning they have power over the transformations of others. Regarding the lifespan, etc., of these beings, it is explained elsewhere. Below that, at the wish-fulfilling tree called Visible Beauty, some of those beings of the higher realms fall, and countless beings of the Nirmanarati arise. This is because they rejoice in transforming a thousand, a hundred, or countless offspring from the light of their own bodies, hence they are called Nirmanarati. Below that, at the wish-fulfilling tree called Object Beauty, some of those beings of the higher realms fall, and countless beings of the Tushita arise. This is because they only enjoy happiness, hence they are called Tushita. Below that, at the wish-fulfilling tree called Mind-Changing, again from the higher realms, countless beings of the Yama arise. The reason they are called Yama is because they do not fight with the Asuras, hence they are called Yama. Below that, at the wish-fulfilling tree called the Place of Complete Gathering, some beings of the border fall, and again the Thirty-three
