3.22

From "namely taking" onward, it designates the ten kinds. However, the text below only clarifies eight, because the two kinds of beings of transformation have no retributive breath. Yet counting breaths is one; because of the differences in contemplation methods, ten types of practitioners are formed, and thus it is not fixed. The Zhiguan has a chapter on general cultivation with distinct contemplations. In "if, when frequently counting": the upper count (shuo) is pronounced suo and jiao, meaning frequently. The lower count (shu) is read as usual. The text below says: "The counting of breaths that is counted is also like this."
