75.5

Third, the patience of the non-arising of dharmas (anutpattikadharmakṣānti). Below the Commentary's 'In the explanation, explaining the intention of the first question, it says...', the text of the Commentary has two parts: first, it directly answers the previous question; second, below 'This is because conditions gather...', it explains the preceding answer. Regarding 'The verse text fully contains it': the verse states, 'The bodhisattva likewise / Observes all dharmas, / All arising from causes and conditions, / Unborn and therefore unceasing,' which is this. Below the Commentary's 'Explaining the intention of the second question...', herein the Commentary has three parts: first, clarifying that mentioning the general encompasses the particular, which is designated as 'unborn'; second, using the beginning to subsume the subsequent, thus labeling it solely as 'unborn'; third, re-explaining the preceding meaning. Below the Commentary's 'If following the particular meaning...', this is the second part, using the beginning to subsume the subsequent, explaining why it is designated solely as 'unborn.' Regarding 'Hence the *Śraddhābalādhānāvatāramudrā-sūtra* states...', and so forth: that sūtra explains in detail the characteristics of the first bhūmi. Its second fascicle states: 'Furthermore, Mañjuśrī! Bodhisattvas mahāsattvas have five dharmas that can purify the first Joyful Bhūmi and attain the stage of great fearlessness and peace. What are the five? First, the bodhisattva gives rise to such a thought: 'I have already attained abiding in the anutpattikadharmakṣānti; therefore, I give rise to a peaceful mind, and in order to cause others to abide in the anutpattikadharmakṣānti, I give rise to a comforting mind.'' 'Further speaking of anutpattikadharmakṣānti': this means realizing quiescence and cessation. 'Second, the bodhisattva gives rise to such a thought: 'I have already attained abiding in the unceasing-dharma-patience; therefore, I give rise to a peaceful mind, and in order to cause others to abide in the unceasing-dharma-patience, I give rise to a comforting mind.'' 'Further speaking of unceasing-dharma-patience': this means realizing anutpattikadharmakṣānti. 'Third, the bodhisattva gives rise to such a thought: 'I have already attained the wisdom of mindfulness of the body; therefore, I give rise to a peaceful mind, and in order to cause others to abide in the wisdom of mindfulness of the body, I give rise to a comforting mind.'' 'Further speaking of the wisdom of mindfulness of the body': this means being free from body and mind. 'Fourth, attaining the wisdom of mindfulness of feelings; the wisdom of mindfulness of feelings means putting an end to all feelings. Fifth, attaining the wisdom of mindfulness of the mind; the wisdom of mindfulness of the mind means giving rise to the mind as being like an illusion.' The latter two are cited briefly, as their import is identical to the first three; here, only the first two are taken, so the Commentary does not quote in full. However, citing them has two intents: first, to directly corroborate the second meaning, clarifying that there is an unceasing-patience; second, to concurrently corroborate the first meaning, because unceasing accomplishes non-arising. Therefore, that sūtra states: 'The unceasing-patience, because it realizes non-arising, may also be named the inexhaustible patience,' and so forth.
