The best explanation of TURIYATITA I ever read:
Zen master Tai-yung, passing by the retreat of another Zen master named Chih-huang, stopped and respectfully asked, "I am told that you frequently enter into Samadhi. At the time of such entrances, does your consciousness continue or are you in a state of unconsciousness? If your consciousness continues, all sentient beings are endowed with consciousness and can enter into Samadhi like yourself. If, on the other hand, you are in a state of unconsciousness, plants and rocks can enter into Samadhi."
Huang replied, "When I enter into a Samadhi, I am not conscious of either condition."
Yung said, "If you are not conscious of either condition, this is abiding in eternal Samadhi, and there can be neither entering into a Samadhi nor rising out of it."
