Kuiji says: This clarifies that because it is the fruit of right view, it is said to be constant; from 'if a dharma, that which is to be remedied' down, it sets aside the conditioned as non-constant. One explanation says: 'if a dharma' generally refers to all dharmas; 'if there is that which is to be remedied, having arisen, it has no cessation' means that if there are delusions to be remedied, once the uninterrupted path arises, it does not cease while coexisting with the delusions; 'if that which is to be remedied is absent, having ceased, there is that which arises' means that if the delusions to be remedied are absent, once the uninterrupted path ceases together with the delusions, the path of liberation arises; since this which is remedied and that which remedies have cessation and arising, one should know that because it has a counterpart, it is non-constant. Another explanation: 'if a dharma' refers to the dharmas of the truth of the path. 'If there is that which is to be remedied' means that before the vajra-like mind, up to the path of seeing, because delusions still exist, there is that which is to be remedied; the path and so forth before the vajra-like mind is called 'having arisen, it has no cessation', because it arises repeatedly and can arise presently; subsequently, at the time of the vajra-like mind, all delusions are absent, which is called 'if that which is to be remedied is absent'; the path previously attained having ceased, the subsequent perfected fruit-path arises, hence it says 'having ceased, there is that which arises'; because this truth of the path has arising and ceasing, it is called non-constant; the unconditioned is not like this, and therefore is constant; this only sets aside the truth of the path; if one does not explain it as prior to the vajra-like mind, then in the Mahāyāna delusion and attainment do not coexist, so how could it be that when there is that which is to be remedied, having arisen, it has no cessation, with path and delusion coexisting? This latter explanation generally agrees in meaning with Jing.
