修習位

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: stage of practice

Senses:

  • The fourth among the five stages 唯識修道五位 of Yogâcāra practice as explained by Vasubandhu 世親 in his Triṃśikā 唯識三十論, equivalent to the path of cultivation 修道. This is explained as practice by repeatedly returning to the principle of Consciousness-only that has been realized through the path of seeing 見道, deepening the experience of nondiscriminating knowledge and cutting off delusion. This stage is correlated to the ranks of bodhisattva practice from the first bhūmi to the tenth bhūmi (Skt. *bhāvanâvasthā). 〔成唯識論 T 1585.31.48b13〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura, Hirakawa, JEBD]
