Question: "The desire realm is also destroyed by bad destinies; how then is an abode of consciousness established [there]?" Answer: "It is taken with respect to the destruction of stages, not the destruction of realms. In the desire realm, the bad destinies and good destinies are perverse destinies in different stages, and suffering and bliss have distinct outcomes; their meanings do not interact, and so they do not destroy each other." Jingxi says: "As for the seven abodes of consciousness, the place is that which is abided in, and the abiding is that which is capable of abiding. If one relies on Venerable Kumārajīva, it simply resides in suffering according to whatever place is abided in. When the three paths are fully present, they also form a common aspect. The aspect of the three commonalities is, in terms of the Hinayana, a blissful abiding, which is broken and rendered seedless. Although it is said not to be blissful, the principle is not entirely non-existent."
