9.37

Eighth, being skilled in knowing the stages of rank: the dharma of saṃsāra is originally nirvāṇa—this is principle-nirvāṇa. Comprehending that saṃsāra is nirvāṇa is verbal nirvāṇa. Diligently contemplating that saṃsāra is nirvāṇa is practice-nirvāṇa. When wholesome roots and meritorious virtues arise, this is resemblance-nirvāṇa. When true wisdom arises, this is partial-realisation nirvāṇa. Reaching the very depths of saṃsāra is ultimate nirvāṇa. Contemplating that defilements are bodhi is also like this.
