Regarding this noble knowledge realised within oneself, "attaining the endurance of the non-arising of dharmas" refers to initially breaking through ignorance and revealing the Dharma-nature. "Skilful joy" means that having attained non-arising, one takes this as joy. Furthermore, stating that one "abides on the eighth bodhisattva stage" refers to the eighth stage of the Shared Teaching. When a bodhisattva reaches this stage and receives instruction, he begins to realize the endurance of the non-arising of dharmas; explaining it according to other teachings is unacceptable. As for "freedom from mind, intellection, consciousness, etc.," since one has already realized non-arising, what dharma is there to be abandoned? It is abandoning without abandonment. "Attaining a mind-made body" is the basis for initiating function; it is also abandoning intellection and attaining the functioning of intellection.
