7.124

The treatise states: "Truly realizing the two kinds of emptiness, truly severing the two hindrances," etc. It is transmitted that the Tripiṭaka Master's explanation contains twenty-five interpretations combining the two teachers of sudden and gradual [severance]. First, the teacher of gradual severance has fourteen interpretations: and divided into three grades each of the afflictive and cognitive [hindrances], there are five explanations in all. The first says that within each of the three grades, first severing the three grades of afflictions, each has an uninterrupted [path] and a [path of] liberation, making six mind-[moments]. Next, severing the cognitive [hindrance], since an uninterrupted path of a different kind arises, an advanced path (viśeṣamārga) is generated, adding one mind-[moment], making seven mind-[moments] in all. Next, severing the three grades of the cognitive [hindrance] also has six mind-[moments]; wishing to enter the path of seeing with marks, one generates one advanced path, likewise making seven mind-[moments] in all. In combination, fourteen mind-[moments] bring the true path of seeing to completion. Why does one generate an advanced path when entering [the path of seeing] with marks? Because the path of seeing with marks has never been attained before.
