12.144

住此住中已下，第二明由前觀得無生忍。於無生法證得第一最極清淨忍者，初地亦得無生忍，此二何別？基解：如顯揚第六，無生忍有三種。所執性名本來無生忍，依他名自然無生忍，圓成名苦垢無生忍，其初地證斷二分別執故名得本來無生忍，八地以去真俗雙行得自然苦垢二無生忍。又八地以去證一味純觀真如故名得苦垢無生，以前證得餘無生忍，又以前得分段無生忍，八地以去證變易無生忍。又初地等不入惡道無生忍，八地以去非有漏心間生無生忍。

From "dwelling in this abode" onward is the second part, which clarifies the attainment of the forbearance of non-birth through the preceding contemplation. Regarding "with respect to unarisen dharmas, realizing the foremost, supreme, and most pristine forbearance": The first stage also attains the forbearance of non-birth; what is the difference between these two? Ji explains: As stated in the sixth fascicle of the Prakaraṇāryavācā, there are three kinds of forbearance of non-birth: that regarding the parikalpita nature is called "forbearance of fundamental non-birth"; that regarding the paratantra is called "forbearance of spontaneous non-birth"; that regarding the pariniṣpanna is called "forbearance of non-birth free of suffering and defilement." The first stage realizes it through cutting off the two kinds of conceptually constructed grasping, hence it is said to attain the "forbearance of fundamental non-birth." From the eighth stage onward, with ultimate and conventional truth operating simultaneously, one attains both the spontaneous forbearance and the forbearance free of suffering and defilement. Furthermore, from the eighth stage onward, one realizes the pure contemplation of tathatā of a single taste, hence it is called attaining the forbearance of non-birth free of suffering and defilement, whereas before this, one attained the other forbearances of non-birth. Furthermore, prior to this, one attains the forbearance of non-birth regarding portioned life-and-death; from the eighth stage onward, one realizes the forbearance of non-birth regarding life-and-death by transformation. Furthermore, the first stage and so forth have the forbearance of non-birth of not entering the miserable realms; from the eighth stage onward, one has the forbearance of non-birth wherein tainted minds do not arise in alternation.
