7.128

The meaning is: that concentration is also exclusively taintless. When it said earlier, 'furthermore, formless concentrations,' it takes taintless concentrations; and as for 'and any other samādhis and samāpattis are also called the training in concentration,' these are the taintless concentrations that can be triggered by the four dhyānas. There is no contradiction in the training in concentration being exclusively taintless while the meaning of the training in wisdom is equal to it. Furthermore, concentration encompasses both tainted and taintless, and wisdom is also like this; this is spoken according to what is superior as taintless, and there is no contradiction in its not being like the definitive method of concentration. According to the text below, if one has morality and concentration, one does not necessarily have wisdom, but if one has wisdom, one must have morality and concentration; therefore the former explanation is superior, because it takes taintless wisdom as training. Furthermore, what objection is there if the training in wisdom is exclusively taintless while morality and concentration encompass the tainted? There is no contradiction in their breadths being unequal.
