Sengliang comments: "This is the seventh turn, and it is the deepest. The body is nominal; morality, mind, and wisdom are likewise." Baoliang comments: "From here down directly clarifies the intention of cultivating these four dharmas and attaining their proper place. That is to say, if one cultivates them erroneously, these four will swiftly perish; if one clings to their existence, although one practices, there will be no benefit. This 'ultimate truth' is not the ultimate of emptiness. It merely clarifies that ordinary beings possess a calculating mind that grasps at substantiality, and it is on the basis of this that it is termed 'ultimate'. If one sees the body as substantial and not arising from causes and conditions, engaging in such cultivation of the body cannot be called cultivation. The rest are also like this."
