維摩經玄疏 4.5

4.5

According to the explanation of the perfect teaching, from the initial generating of the mind in nominal designation, one immediately practices the threefold contemplation in a single mind, cultivates the mind of rejoicing, enters the stages of the ten faiths, exhausts and severs the defilements within the realm [of transmigration], and thereby subdues the ignorance beyond the realm; at the initial mind of the ten abodes, one gives rise to perfect, true wisdom and severs the first grade of ignorance; from this point through the forty minds, one continually severs ignorance, until it is completely exhausted at the final mind of equal enlightenment; at the ultimate ground of marvelous enlightenment, serenely transcendent beyond worldly entanglements, this is called ultimate bodhi, the unsurpassed great nirvāṇa.
