"Second, from 'Furthermore, the practice' downwards, interrogating the preceding section to discern the meaning. As for 'dwelling securely in worldly truth when first emerging from the womb': the common dharma of fundamental ignorance produces all differentiated distinctions, and hence is called 'worldly truth'. 'Dwelling securely' means that by cessation and contemplation one rests securely in worldly truth, which is to contemplate the inconceivable object. When the position of contemplative practice is achieved, it is therefore called 'dwelling securely'. Because of dwelling securely, it is called 'entrusted to the noble womb'. The first abode breaks through fundamental ignorance and opens the Buddha's knowledge and vision, which is called 'first emerging from the womb'. 'Using the expedient up to entering the provisional' means that real wisdom enters emptiness, and expedient wisdom enters the provisional.
