二十五種清淨定輪 [er shi wu zhong qing jing ding lun]—"Twenty-five Kinds of Pure Samādhi Wheels" (, Èrshíwǔ Zhǒng Qīngjìng Dìnglún) — [Term] There are twenty-five variations in the meditative concentration (禪定 [chan ding], chándìng) practiced by all bodhisattvas who wish to attain perfect enlightenment (圓覺 [yuan jue], yuánjué). It is said that unhindered pure wisdom arises from meditative concentration. This meditative concentration has three distinctions:
1. Śamatha (奢摩他 [she mo ta], shēmotuō), translated as "stopping" (止 [zhi]), is a quiet practice (靜行 [jing xing], jìngxíng) (abiding in non-action).
2. Samāpatti (三摩缽提 [san mo bo ti], sānmóbōtí), translated as "insight" (觀 [guan]), is an illusory practice (幻行 [huan xing], huànxíng) (cultivating the conditioned illusory practice).
3. Dhyāna (禪那 [chan na], chánnà), translated as "contemplation" (思惟 [si wei]), is a tranquil practice (寂行 [ji xing], jìxíng) (where both quietude and illusion cease to exist).
Among these three practices: those who exclusively cultivate one practice are three people; those who cultivate the three practices interchangeably are twenty-one people; and those who perfectly cultivate all three practices are one person. Thus, there are twenty-five people in total. The meditative concentrations cultivated by these twenty-five people are called the "Twenty-five Kinds of Pure Samādhi Wheels."
The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment (圓覺經 [yuan jue jing], Yuánjué Jīng) states: "All bodhisattvas, their unhindered pure wisdom, all arise from meditative concentration. Namely, Śamatha, Samāpatti, and Dhyāna—these three methods, cultivated abruptly or gradually, result in twenty-five types. All Tathāgatas in the ten directions, and practitioners of the three times, without exception, attain bodhi through these methods."
二十五種清淨定輪—【術語】一切菩薩欲證圓覺而修禪定有二十五種之差別。謂無礙清淨慧，皆依禪定而生，其禪定有三種之別，一、奢摩他，此譯作止，靜行也（安於無為也）。二、三摩缽提，此譯作觀，幻行也（修有為之幻行也）。三、禪那，此譯作思惟，寂行也（靜幻皆亡也）。於此三行，單修一行者有三人；三行互修者，有二十一人；三行圓修者有一人；因而有二十五人。此二十五人所修之禪定，謂之二十五種清淨定輪。圓覺經曰：「一切諸菩薩，無礙清淨慧，皆依禪定生。所謂奢摩他三摩提禪那，三法頓漸修，有二十五種。十方諸如來，三世修行者，無不因此法而得成菩提。」
