8.37

Furthermore, regarding "The attention that integrates joy is called counteractive attention and attention conforming to purity," attention conforming to purity corresponds to the twenty-seventh. As for attention conforming to purity, it means cultivating the six recollections, namely mindfulness of the Buddha and so forth. If it is the attention that integrates joy, because it abandons intermediate afflictions it is called counteractive attention. Because it clearly takes the six recollections as objects to cultivate a distinct contemplation of joy, and pure nirvāṇa, the Buddha, and so forth are also called pure, and because it separately takes these as objects, it is not explained in the same place together with detachment and so forth. Furthermore, because detachment and so forth above do not subsume attention conforming to purity, this one subsumes it together [with counteractive attention].
