6.24

From “severance is bodhi” up to “because there is no covetous attachment” is second: four instances clarifying that the true virtue of severance is bodhi, which is the virtue of liberation. As for “severance is bodhi”: when true suchness becomes manifest and the delusions of view and thought are severed, this is the bodhi of the virtue of severance. Relinquishing the view of bodhi and all views arisen from clinging to the four teachings is “relinquishing all views”. As for “separation is bodhi”: separating from the contemplative practices and all dharmas explained by the four teachings is the bodhi of the true virtue of severance. As for “separating from all false thoughts”: separating from the conditional cultivation of the four gates and all false thoughts. As for “hindering is bodhi”: if one knows that in the impartial, true dharma-realm the Buddha does not deliver sentient beings, this is beyond the practice of all buddhas, and thus hinders the vows of all expedient teaching gates; this is the true virtue of severance. As for “not entering is bodhi”: if one knows that true suchness is ultimately markless, one does not enter the nirvāṇa of the provisional teachings or any dharma; because one does not enter, there is no covetous attachment, which is the bodhi of the true virtue of severance.
