Meditation as described in the Abhisamayalamkara

在《阿比萨摩雅兰羯罗》中，有173个羯罗，其中四个被描述为其中之一。一个小乘佛教的修行人，至今还在修行中运用这四种方法。首席研究员从实践的观点出发，对四种智相进行研究。他发现这是一种具有元心理学意义的行为。它考察了传统路径在新形成的实践体系中是如何被接受和编织的。通过与《阿毗达摩科萨》中所描述的实修之道的比较，它的主要对象是《阿毗参衍罗集》中的四种智性。它变得清晰如下：一个阿比萨摩耶的修行者必须以四禅为他的目标，由诸如无执和大乘优于小乘之类的心理概念所控制。在藏语“顿南”和“她南”概念的帮助下，首席调查员检查了173个阿卡拉的特征，这些阿卡拉是abhisamaya冥想的对象。而abhisamaya禅修的结构可以分为两部分：客体是三种全知的知道，主体是菩萨或修行人的证悟之道。

Four smrtyupasthanas are described as ones of 173 akaras in the Abhisamayalamkara. A practitioner belonging to the Theravada Buddhism applies these four into his practice still now. The head investigator conducted researches into the four smrtyupasthanas from the practical viewpoint. And he found that they are a conduct with metapsychology.It was examined how traditional paths were accepted by and woven into a new practical system when it got formed newly. Its main objects was the four smrtyupasthanas in the Abhisamayalamkara by the comparison with the practical paths of the Sarvastivada system as described in the Abhidharmakosa. And it got clear as follows : a practioner of abhisamaya must have meditated on the four smrtyupasthanas as his objects, controlled by such metapsychological concepts as non-attachment and superiority of mahayana over hinayana.With a help of the Tibetan concepts "don rnam" and "shes rnam" the head investigator examined the characteristics of the 173 akaras, which are the objects of abhisamaya meditation. And the structure of abhisamaya meditation can he divided into two parts : its objects, the way of knowledge of three kinds of omniscience, and its subjects, the way of realization of a bodhisattva or a practitioner.
