Answer: "Comparing concentration and wisdom to the Buddha-nature, wisdom is the cause and concentration is the condition; because the cause is direct while the condition is indirect, it is thus. Furthermore, the śrāvaka has only one-sided emptiness wisdom and lacks middle-way wisdom, hence it is said that wisdom is deficient; the bodhisattva possesses middle wisdom, hence sees the Buddha-nature. Furthermore, among these five, only the third is an appositional compound (karmadhāraya), while the rest are determinative compounds (tatpuruṣa)."
