Regarding "moreover, realizing security and coolness," it means realizing that nirvāṇa of the dharma of cessation. "Moreover, obtaining the supreme pleasant dwelling in the present life, etc.," means realizing that bliss of bodhi of the truth of the path. Moreover, obtaining the benefits of the eight concentrations is common to both ordinary persons and noble ones. The preceding three fruitions transcend the suffering of the miserable destinies; the non-learner transcends the eight sufferings. "Security" refers to the cessation with remainder: within this, abandoning the afflictions of seeing is called security; abandoning the afflictions of cultivation is called supreme security. "Coolness" refers to the cessation without remainder: pacifying the seven sufferings is called coolness; pacifying the suffering of the aggregates is called supreme coolness. Furthermore, because one obtains the supreme pleasant dwelling in the present life, one no longer falls away from the realized dharma in the four postures, and since one's self-benefit is fully perfected, one has no further hope. The above explains the benefits of the śrāvaka. From "or alternatively" onwards, it clarifies the benefits of the bodhisattva. The above seven passages have answered the eight questions, concluding the clarification of the sixth topic.
