[51] What Are Samādhi With Form And Samādhi Without Form? 什么是有相三昧和无相三昧?

《金刚经》说心地法门,故云:「凡所有相,皆是虚妄」。汝不知看经上文说的话,独以此两句,疑念佛求生西方。

[As the] Vajra Sūtra speaks [of the] Mind Ground Dharma Door, [it] thus says, ‘All [that] have forms, all are false’. If you [do] not know [and] see [the] sūtra’s preceding text, only with these two lines, [will] doubt reciting [of Āmítuó]fó[’s name (阿弥陀佛) to] seek birth [in his] Western [Pure Land Of Ultimate Bliss (极乐世界)].

不知有有相三昧,有无相三昧。

Not knowing [there] are Samādhi With Form, [and] Samādhi Without Form.

凡般若部中许多经,并禅宗所说,皆是依无相三昧发挥者;凡诸大乘经,备明修因证果,并开示念佛求生西方者,皆是依有相三昧而发挥者。

Within all [the] Prajñā section’s many sūtras, furthermore [in the] Chán Tradition’s those spoken, all are those relying on Samādhi Without Form fully expressed. All Great Vehicle sūtras, gather clearly [on] cultivating [of] causes [for] realising [the] effects, furthermore teaching reciting [of Āmítuó]fó[’s name to] seek birth [in his] Western [Pure Land Of Ultimate Bliss], all are those relying on Samādhi With Form then fully expressed.
