| English | In brief, there are six (possible) faults for every single samādhi: laziness, loss of the meditation object, sinking, excitement, lack of effort and exertion. Eight conditions of abandonment should be meditated upon as their antidotes, namely: faith, desire, effort, confidence, mindfulness, clear comprehension, intention and equanimity. Here the first four are antidotes of laziness. That is to say, it is through faith characterized by a firm confidence in the virtues of samādhi that the yogin's inspiration arises. Thereafter, from that inspiration his energy emerges. Then, on the basis of energy one develops physical and mental capacity.18Tucci 10.16: tato vīryārambaṇāt kāyacittayoḥ karmaṇya(tāṃ) bhāva)yati. D 59b7: de nas brtson 'grus la brten pas lus dang sems las su rung ba nyid du byed do / Subsequently, for one who is confident both mentally and physically the laziness departs. [On that basis faith and the others spring up].19D 59b7-60a1: de bas na dad pa la sogs pas le lo spong bar 'gyur te. T. only It is for that reason that they are to be cultivated. Mindfulness is the antidote of loss of the meditation object. Clear comprehension is the antidote of sinking and excitement, since having been noticed by it, they are abandoned. But at times when there is no alleviating sinking or excitement20Tucci 10.20-21: layauddhatyapraśamanakāle. D 60a1-2: bying ba dang rgod pa ma zhi ba'i dus na, this is the fault of a lack of effort. And then as the antidote of that, willpower should be developed. When sinking and excitement are alleviated and the mind is a vehicle for calmness, then the fault of exertion (could arise). In this case its antidote, equanimity, should be cultivated. |
