Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Deep Faith in Aptitude and Teaching
機法深信
The meditative state of the desire realm is the least level that meditation practitioners can reach. Under this circumstance, they must be the controller of their mind, and they must keep it in the state of purity, so as to deal with matters instantly and leave nothing in mind after any matter is done. It is not easy at all.
The first and second and above Dhyana states are called the ‘meditative state of matter realm’ and ‘the meditative state of non-matter realm.’ Among all Buddhists, whether they are monastics or householders, only very few can reach these states.

修定要達到最低層次的「欲界定」──心時時刻刻做得了主,能保持清淨,事來當下辦理,事過了無痕跡,已經很不容易。
而初禪、二禪以上的「色界定」、「無色界定」,在學佛的人當中,不論在家或出家,很少人能修成。
Namo Amitabha!
