4.83
Tai says: In the non-learner, at the time of the contemplation of emptiness, when the faculty of equanimity takes signs, its seeds are permanently destroyed. The dormant tendencies, hard and pliable, are called unrefined states. Because unrefined states are abandoned without remainder, it is called the cessation of active manifestation. Why? Abiding in the signless concentration, there is necessarily equanimity taking signs as its object. Now, in designating the seeds of active entanglements that are abandoned as dormant tendencies, this is said according to nominal convention. It is not that those sensations of joy and pleasure possess unrefined dormant tendencies; they are called abandoned because the defilements admixed with them are abandoned; the seeds of sensations belonging to the class of those defilements are called dormant tendencies.
