Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

tatredam ucyate -
arthapravicayaṃ dhyānaṃ dhyānaṃ bālopacārikam |
tathatālambanaṃ dhyānaṃ dhyānaṃ tāthāgataṃ śubham || 2.161 || 
爾時，世尊欲重宣此義(25)而說偈言：
(26)「凡夫所行禪， 觀察相義禪，
(27)攀緣如實禪， 如來清淨禪。 
. 
. 
. 
. 
Therefore, it is said:
161. There are the Dhyāna for the examination of meaning, the Dhyāna practised by the ignorant; the Dhyāna with Tathatā for its object, and the pure Dhyāna of the Tathagata. 
somabhāskarasaṃsthānaṃ padmapātālasādṛśam |
gaganāgnicitrasadṛśaṃ yogī yuñjan prapaśyati || 2.162 || 
(28)譬如日月形， 鉢頭摩深1 嶮，
(29)如虛空火2 燼， 修行者觀察。 
. 
. 
. 
. 
162. The Yogin, while in his exercise, sees the form of the sun or the moon, or something looking like a lotus, or the underworld, or various forms like sky, fire, etc. 
nimittāni ca citrāṇi tīrthamārgaṃ nayanti te |
śrāvakatve nipātanti pratyekajinagocare || 2.163 || 
(492b1)如是種種相， 外道道通禪，
(2)亦復墮聲聞， 及緣覺境界， 
. 
. 
. 
. 
163. All these appearances lead him to the way of the philosophers; they throw him down into the state of Śrāvakahood, into the realm of the Pratyekabuddhas. 
vidhūya sarvāṇy etāni nirābhāsaṃ yadā bhavet |
tadā buddhākarādityāḥ sarvakṣetrāḥ samāgatāḥ |
śiro hi tasya mārjanti nimittaṃ tathatānugam || 2.164 || 
(3)捨離彼一切， 則是無所有。
(4)一切剎諸佛， 以不思議手，
(5)一時摩其頂， 隨順入如相。」 
. 
. 
. 
. 
164. When all these are tossed aside and there is a state of imagelessness, then a condition in conformity with Tathatā presents itself; and the Buddhas will come together from all their countries and with their shining hands will stroke the head of this benefactor.
