English version Bhi (thigh). Next, place the left palm on top of the right palm. Gently place them on the left thigh near the body, aligning with the chest and securing them. Keep the body upright and straight, aligning the nose with the navel. Look straight ahead and keep the mouth closed. The lips and teeth should barely touch, and the tongue should be raised towards the palate. Close the eyes just enough to block out external light. Regarding breath, a breath with sound is called 'wind', a blocked and stagnant breath is called 'wheezing', and an unobstructed breath is called 'knot'. A good breath is one that is silent, unobstructed, not coarse, not astringent, not slippery, with continuous inhalation and exhalation, seemingly present and absent, nourishing the spirit and bringing peace to the body and mind, and is called 'rest'. Guarding the 'wind', dispelling 'wheezing', the stagnant breath naturally settles. The Bailu says, after completing the Ten Recollections, then recite the Buddhas of the ten directions, the Rupakaya (form body) of the Seven Buddhas, the True Nature Wonderful Body (the subtle body after realizing the truth) is like empty space. Also, one should contemplate all sentient beings with compassion. When making this thought, it is like entering a state of upper Dhyana (meditation). After using this thought for a long time, awaken from the meditation peacefully and slowly (The commentary says, 'Sustained mindfulness is to encourage the mind to silently recite. People with lower faculties can immediately attain mental stability and stop distractions. People with middle faculties can immediately attain subtle abiding. People with higher faculties can immediately attain the Unarrived-at-the-Earth Samadhi. This is the joy that triggers all the undefiled Dhyanas, seeing the Buddhas of the ten directions, Buddha Recitation Samadhi, and all the Dhyanas. These Ten Recollections are for ten kinds of practitioners. Counting breaths and focusing the mind are different. If counting breaths is adjusted, the body and mind are peaceful, and the four elements are harmonized, then the poison of karmic retribution can be eliminated. If good thoughts are developed while counting breaths, all evil karma ceases, and worldly goodness is possessed, this is the counting of breaths for humans and devas. If observing that breath is wind, and wind is Rupa (matter), the mind-king that can observe is Vijnana (consciousness), receiving this breath, contemplating this breath, the rest is Samskara (volition). Breath possesses the five Skandhas (form, feeling, perception, volition, consciousness), which are the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (body, feeling, mind, dharma), called Sravaka breath. If observing that breath in the past was the cause of ignorance, achieving today's breath of karmic retribution, the causes and conditions of the three times, is Pratyekabuddha breath. If observing that breath is not retained, not named, not given, not arising unwholesomely, it is called a corpse (sila). Being at peace with enduring this counting is called Ksanti (patience). Thoughts continuing one after another is called Virya (diligence). Knowing that counting is not disordered is called Dhyana (meditation). Illuminating the right and wrong of wind and wheezing is Prajna (wisdom). Accomplishing the Six Paramitas (generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, wisdom) of breath. If observing that breath achieves Anatta wisdom, it is called Tong Teaching breath. If observing that breath is neither empty nor vulgar, the Middle Way Buddha-nature, observing it before and after, is called Separate Teaching breath. If fully observing this breath, the One Mind Three Truths (emptiness, provisionality, the Middle Way), without sequence before and after, is called Perfect Teaching breath. Buddha Recitation, the sutra requires reciting the Seven Buddhas, etc. Fuhang quotes the Vibhasa saying, all dharmas are originally without self-nature.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'Birth without cessation.' Bodhisattvas believe and delight in the two bodies of form (色法) as being like empty space, therefore they attain unobstructedness in all places. What is meant by obstructions are things like Mount Sumeru (须弥山). If someone has not attained the heavenly eye (天眼), but contemplates the Buddhas of other realms, they can see the Buddhas according to their will through the practice of meditative concentration (禅定). One should also understand in detail the ten aspects of practice. The commentary (疏) says that the Buddhas of the ten directions are the ten dharma realms (十法界), all possessing Buddha-nature (佛性), with the Seven Buddhas representing the seven factors of enlightenment (七觉分). Those who contemplate birth after birth (念生生) should cultivate compassion (慈悲) by focusing on the realm of the Four Noble Truths (四谛). The text is extensive, so it is not quoted in detail here, but its meaning can be understood. One should know that one should not take the practice of mindfulness (系念) lightly, it is only for collecting the mind. One should know that the capacities of practitioners differ, and if one can deeply cultivate for three seven-day periods or seven seven-day periods, one will have some realization. Therefore, the commentary extensively explains the appearances of the three types of practitioners and the ten types of practitioners, so that the meaning is far-reaching. Practitioners should contemplate deeply. Just as it is with counting breaths (数息), so it is with other practices, each explained according to the ten types of practitioners, clarifying the meaning of subduing afflictions. Fifth, Invocation (召请) The commentary (疏) says that there are three meanings of invocation: first, invocation for oneself; second, invocation for others; and third, invocation for protecting the Dharma (正法). Invocation for oneself is like Sina (斯那, a person's name); invocation for others is like Moon Canopy (月盖, a Bodhisattva's name); protecting the Dharma is like the seven-word verse (七言偈). Invocation for oneself is the precept of gathering good dharmas (摄善法戒), invocation for others is the precept of gathering sentient beings (摄众生戒), and protecting the Dharma is the precept of gathering the correct Dharma (摄正法戒). Those who understand its meaning will realize that these three are actually the same thing. Wanting to purify one's own precepts, concentration, and wisdom (戒定慧) is gathering good dharmas; benefiting others with one's own benefit is gathering sentient beings; the mind, the Buddha, and sentient beings are not different. Now, according to the practitioner's situation, one may take self-benefit as primary and the rest as secondary, and so on, even with protecting the Dharma. Invocation for oneself also has three types: extending an invitation (延请), praying (祈请), and vowing (愿请). It is the same for others and for protecting the Dharma. 'Extending' means bending and stretching, extending the invitation, corresponding to bodily karma (身业), such as prostrating with the five limbs touching the ground (五体投地). 'Praying' means uttering a request, which is verbal karma (口业), such as the four-line verse (四行偈). 'Vowing' means the place where the mind is directed, which is mindfulness (系念). Although the separate correspondences are like this, usually all three are present. The three karmas should be combined, and effort should be put into understanding its meaning. The current meaning is extending an invitation. The 'Hundred Records' (百录) says to have one person prepare incense and candles, and each person should kneel and invoke. The 'Supporting Conduct' (辅行) says that the ritual of kneeling involves raising three points, bending the body, joining the palms, and focusing the eyes on the golden image of the Buddha. Modern times are decadent, and there is no appearance of kneeling, but arrogance and negligence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
