答第五問以辨斷障次第，景云：初斷異生在家障，已得出家，次欲修定，應離彼定障，即眷屬尋伺等。次離近障障，未得未至定中六種作意故，須臾斷得作意障身麁重等，上來已離聖道方便障。次明聖人斷障次第，先斷見惑次除修惑，見修惑盡即除無漏定家性障，次除事障，即屬五受不調柔性，障於勝定，此之定障是所知障一分。

Answering the fifth question to clarify the order of abandoning hindrances, Jing says: first one abandons the hindrances of an ordinary person at home; having succeeded in going forth, one next wishes to cultivate concentration and must abandon the hindrances to that concentration, which are dependents, investigation, reflection, and so forth. Next, one abandons the hindrances closely impeding it: because one has not yet attained the six kinds of mental application in the not-yet-arrived concentration, one must instantaneously abandon the coarse heaviness of the body that hindrances the attainment of mental application, and so forth. The above has already removed the hindrances to the preliminary preparations of the noble path. Next, it clarifies the order of abandoning hindrances for noble persons: first one abandons the afflictions of seeing, and next eliminates the afflictions of cultivation; when the afflictions of seeing and cultivation are exhausted, one then eliminates the natural hindrances belonging to taintless concentration; next, one eliminates the phenomenal hindrances, which pertain to the unpliable nature of the five feelings that hinder superior concentration; this hindrance to concentration is a portion of the hindrance to the knowable.
