English version: Regarding a single object, because of thinking that this object is definitely consciousness (vijñāna, the function of distinguishing), one fails to attain the Station of Limitless Consciousness (vijñānānantyāyatana-samāpatti, a state of meditation transcending all material forms and focusing on boundless consciousness). In order to gather the scattered and wandering mind, one focuses and contemplates on a single aspect of consciousness, thinking that this is consciousness and not emptiness, etc. Contemplating this aspect of consciousness with diligence and vigor, until the mind can abide continuously for a long time, by this practice (prayoga, practice) one can enter the concentration of consciousness. After diligently and repeatedly practicing this practice, one further cultivates the means of this concentration, that is, repeatedly practicing, repeatedly cultivating, and repeatedly engaging in the path generated by the practice. Since one has repeatedly practiced, repeatedly cultivated, and repeatedly engaged in the path generated by the practice, the mind can abide, abide equally, abide closely, continuously directing itself to one focus, focusing on one object, and thinking that this object is definitely an aspect of consciousness. Because the mind abides, abides equally, abides closely, continuously directing itself to one focus, focusing on one object, and thinking that this object is definitely an aspect of consciousness, without duality, without change, one can enter the concentration of consciousness, but fails to enter the Station of Limitless Consciousness. Question: If one fails to enter the Station of Limitless Consciousness in this way, then what should be the practice for the Station of Limitless Consciousness? By what means can a practitioner of contemplation attain the Station of Limitless Consciousness? Answer: That is, based on the concentration of consciousness entered as before, make the mind compliant, subdued, and directed, gradually becoming gentle and universally gentle. After focusing the mind on the concentration, imagine this consciousness gradually expanding, with consciousness pervading the east, south, west, and north. Because of imagining this consciousness gradually expanding, with consciousness pervading the east, south, west, and north, the mind becomes scattered, running towards various phenomena, unable to focus on one direction, focusing on one object, and thinking that this object is filled with consciousness. Because the mind is scattered, running towards various phenomena, unable to focus on one direction, focusing on one object, and thinking that this object is filled with consciousness, one fails to attain the Station of Limitless Consciousness. In order to gather the scattered and wandering mind, one focuses and contemplates on the aspect of pervasive consciousness, thinking that this pervasiveness is consciousness and not pervasive emptiness, etc. Contemplating this aspect of consciousness with diligence and vigor, until the mind can abide continuously for a long time, by this practice one can gradually enter the Station of Limitless Consciousness. After diligently and repeatedly practicing this practice, one further cultivates the means of this concentration, that is, repeatedly practicing, repeatedly cultivating, and repeatedly engaging in the path generated by the practice. Since one has repeatedly practiced, repeatedly cultivated, and repeatedly engaged in the practice, the mind can abide, abide equally, abide closely, continuously directing itself to one focus, focusing --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
