2.7

Answer: The sūtra's statement of 'constantly mindful' means right mindfulness: fundamentally penetrating that the nature of afflictions is nonexistent, abiding at the limit of greedy lust which is itself the limit of reality (bhūta-koṭi), transcending the four propositions, devoid of active subject and passive object, the nature of mindfulness being pure. If such right mindfulness is not wisdom, where else could one look for wisdom? If this wisdom does not leave afflictions, who could be free from them? If it were as your objection claims, one would necessarily have to make separate use [of another means].
