1.25

From "conditioned merits" onward is the fourth part, praising virtues. As for "conditioned merits, unconditioned merits": conditioned brings out the virtue of wisdom, while unconditioned brings out the virtue of elimination. If analyzed in terms of the cognitive object, the truth of the path is conditioned, and the truth of cessation is unconditioned. Exerting effort is called merit (gōng); returning to oneself is called virtue (dé); hence they are called "merits" (gōngdé).
