8.36

Next, under "Furthermore, if [it is] the attention that discerns marks...", fourth, the six attentions are subsumed under the four attentions and the two counteractions of revulsion and abandoning. Master Ji explains: The intent here is to subsume them under the thirty attentions and the four counteractions. As for the forty attentions, they are explained as above in the eleventh fascicle. Now it says that the attention that discerns marks and the attention arisen from resolve are collectively called conforming attention, which runs together with the counteraction of revulsion. Conforming attention corresponds to the twenty-fifth among the forty. Conforming attention feels revulsion toward the cognitive object and conforms to the abandoning of afflictions; thus the former two attentions are conforming. Furthermore, under "If [it is] the attention of detachment and the attention consisting of the culmination of cultivation, they are called counteractive attention, running together with the counteraction of abandoning," counteractive attention corresponds to the twenty-sixth. As for counteractive attention, it means that due to this one directly renounces the afflictions, because these two are the uninterrupted path; thus they are subsumed under counteractive attention.
