Transliteration of the Sanskrit, meaning " meditation in which the buddhas of the present stand before one." The samadhi in which the buddhas of the ten directions are seen as clearly as the stars at night. Also called 常行道 or 常行三昧 the prolonged samādhi, because of the length of time required, either seven or ninety days. Its sūtra is the Panzhou sanmei jing 般舟三昧經. Translated as 佛立 and abbreviated as 般舟. (Skt. pratyutpanna-buddha-saṃmukhâvasthita-samādhi) This is one of the four kinds of samādhi 四種三昧 taught by Zhiyi.〔摩訶止觀 T 1911.46.12a21〕 [resp. cmuller; source(s): Nakamura, Soothill, Hirakawa, JEBD]
