On "unlike the shared teaching" and so forth: Practitioners of the distinct teaching break through emptiness and emerge into the conventional, unlike practitioners of the shared who emerge into the conventional with an empty mind, upholding residual habits to moisten birth, knowing that emptiness is not [merely] emptiness. Breaking through emptiness and emerging into the conventional at the sixth and seventh abidings corresponds to the ten practices stages. "Dust-like": Based on the phenomena of delusion. "Ignorance": In terms of the deluded mind itself. The Four Stations of Mindfulness says: "The ten abidings sever views and thoughts, and also sever upper-grade dust-like [delusions] outside the triple realm." The ten practices sever the middle grade, and the ten dedications sever the lower grade; here it refers to the middle grade. "Fulfillment of practices": Because in the stages of the distinct teaching explained in sūtras and treatises, the single stage of equal enlightenment is sometimes present and sometimes absent. Here, speaking in terms of its absence, it says "fulfillment of practices at the tenth stage."
