成唯識論述記 9.558

9.558

The Commentary states: The two emptinesses are gradually realized and the two obstructions are gradually severed, as explained below in the three-mind true path of seeing, taking the passages on the three minds in [fascicles] fifty-eight and fifty-nine, the ninth fascicle of the Abhidharma[-samuccaya-bhāṣya], and the seventeenth of the Prakaraṇāryavācā as proof of this gradual [process]. However, the passage in [fascicle] fifty-nine also states that the three minds of the path of seeing are called 'instantaneous severing'; this means that without separately giving rise to minds of contemplation, the two obstructions of the three realms are bound together into three grades to be severed, which is termed 'instantaneous'. Because in these three minds persons and dharmas are both distinct, it is called gradual severing, since the principle has shallow and deep, and the obstructions as well as the mental activities of wisdom have coarse and subtle.
