5.27

In the third conclusion, regarding "Briefly relying on the four times because of loss and non-loss": "at the time of attaining the Dharma," relying on the Dharma, wisdom arises, and one does not rely on the person; "at the time of upholding," meaning can be upheld by text, but text cannot be upheld by meaning, because of dhāraṇī; "at the time of examining meaning," one relies on definitive meaning, not non-definitive meaning, because doubting wisdom arises; "at the time of practicing Dharma in accordance with Dharma," Dharma refers to the truth of cessation, and practicing in accordance with Dharma refers to the truth of the path; when cultivating the path of renunciation, one relies on wisdom and not on consciousness. These four reliances above, from the initial practice to the later practice, from coarse cultivation to subtle cultivation, are completely fulfilled in such an order.
