English version: One state: This saying is called Animitta-samadhi (Signless concentration). What is called Apranihita-samadhi (Wishless concentration)? If regarding suffering, impermanence, and so on, there is no awareness of inherent nature, no arising or creation in all dharmas. If one knows in this way, or differently from this way, there is no seeking, no action, no hope. This saying is called Apranihita-samadhi. These three samadhis, up to all natures, all doors of samadhi, follow the entrance into the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) door. The Great Bright Mantra says: 'Om (one sentence) Khatsamama (elongated) Sarva (two combined) Dharma (two combined, elongated) (2) Kham (elongated) (3)' Furthermore, the eight liberations: namely, the liberation of observing forms with a body possessing form; the liberation of observing external forms without internal form-thought; pure liberation. Again, surpassing all form-thoughts, not arising obstructive thoughts, not creating self-thoughts, contemplating the boundless void, which is the liberation of the Akasanantyayatana (Sphere of Infinite Space). Again, surpassing the Sphere of Infinite Space, contemplating the boundless consciousness, which is the liberation of the Vijnananantyayatana (Sphere of Infinite Consciousness). Again, surpassing the Sphere of Infinite Consciousness, contemplating the Sphere of Nothingness, which is the liberation of the Akincanyayatana (Sphere of Nothingness). Again, surpassing the Sphere of Nothingness, contemplating the Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception, which is the liberation of the Naivasamjnanasamjnatayatana (Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception). Again, surpassing the Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception, rightly contemplating the cessation of perception and sensation in Samapatti (the state of meditative absorption), which is the liberation of the cessation of perception and sensation. These eight dharmas are the characteristics of all dharmas being apart from discursive elaboration, neither defiled nor pure, neither concentrated nor scattered, neither Samapatti nor non-Samapatti. This is called the teaching of Prajnaparamita on what is apart from place and non-place. The Great Bright Mantra says: 'Om (one sentence) Samantabhadri (two combined, elongated) (2) Sarva (two combined) Bhava Vishuddhi (elongated) (3) Tang (elongated) (4) Thang (elongated) (5) Kham (elongated) (6)' Furthermore, the nine successive concentrations: namely, the first Dhyana (Prathama-dhyana, first meditative absorption) which is apart from desire and all evil unwholesome dharmas, with initial and sustained thought, joy and pleasure born of detachment (from the realm of desire). Those initial and sustained thoughts cease, the inner mind is pure, abiding in a state of single-pointedness, without initial or sustained thought, joy and pleasure born of concentration, the second Dhyana (Dvitiya-dhyana, second meditative absorption). Being detached from joy, abiding in equanimity, with mindfulness, the body experiences exquisite pleasure, the exquisite pleasure of being apart from joy, the third Dhyana (Tritiya-dhyana, third meditative absorption).
