diệt tận định
concentration of cessation
- The meditative attainment of cessation (Skt. nirodha-samāpatti; Tib. 'gog pa'i snyoms par 'jug pa). An extremely deep state of meditative concentration where sensory and discriminative mental function is completely extinguished, one of the six states of mental inactivity 無心位. When this concentration is attained, the thinking consciousness 意識 is also extinguished, which enables the practitioner to be reborn into the highest heaven. This concentration has the power to extinguish mental functions in the first six consciousnesses 六識 as well as the afflicted manas 染汚末那, it is said to be the concentration practiced by sages. Since low-level practitioners and non-Buddhists are afraid to extinguish their individuality, they do not enter this concentration of complete extinction, but instead can only attain, at best, thoughtless concentration 無想定 (asaṃjñī-samāpatti), considered in Yogâcāra to be an inferior state of concentration. It is also called the "concentration of extinguishing feeling and perception;" this concentration can occur based on the seeds of disillusioned mind 厭心種子. It is one of the fourteen dharmas not-concomitant with the mind 心不相應行法. Also translated by Xuanzang as 滅受想定. Also called 滅心定, 滅定, 無緣三昧, and 滅盡三昧. 〔 成唯識論 T 1585.31.23c29〕 (Skt. nirodha-samāpanna, ubhayato-bhāga-vimukta, ubhaya-bhāga-vimukta, nirodha, nirodhâkhya; Tib. 'gog pa'i snyoms 'jug) [resp.
