仁王般若經疏 3.93

3.93

From “Luminous Wisdom” onward addresses the third bhūmi. The text has five parts: first, identifying the name; second, the name of the patience; third, wisdom and eradication; fourth, the duration of progressive practice; fifth, concluding the stage. First, identifying the name: the text says “practitioner of Luminous Wisdom.” Second, identifying the name of the patience: the text says “practices within the patience of signlessness,” clarifying the superior grade of the patience of faith. As for “the three vidyās,” illuminating the non-arising of the three periods of time, hence it says “having neither coming, nor going, nor dwelling place.” The three periods of time are unobtainable; contemplation exhausts conditions. Thought-moment after thought-moment is tranquil and extinguished; conditions exhaust contemplation. Third, wisdom and eradication: the text says “exhausting the affliction of delusion in the three realms.” Fourth, the duration of progressive practice: “six asaṃkhyeya [kalpas],” adding to the previous five to make six. Fifth, concluding the stage: the text says “enters the stage of galatuo”; this is translated as “crossing over the borderlands.”
