In answering the eighth question to clarify the benefits of abandoning afflictions: regarding "namely, in accordance with what is realized, transcending grief," this is abandoning the cultivation-abandoned afflictions of the desire realm; "transcending suffering" is abandoning the cultivation-abandoned afflictions of the first dhyāna; abandoning the cultivation-abandoned afflictions of the second dhyāna transcends joy; abandoning the cultivation-abandoned afflictions of the third dhyāna transcends pleasure; abandoning the cultivation-abandoned afflictions of the fourth dhyāna transcends the ideation of color borrowed from eye-consciousness, also transcends the ideation of resistance borrowed from the eye-, ear-, and body-consciousnesses, and further transcends the ideation of universally taking the ten bases of its own stage as objects in the fourth dhyāna, as well as transcending the ideation of taking the twelve lower bases as objects. By abandoning the afflictions of seeing, one transcends the suffering of the miserable destinies, transcends female bodies, karma leading to an eighth existence, and karma of the northern continent and the realm of non-conception, and furthermore transcends the eight sufferings such as birth.
