7.198

Regarding the treatise's statement, "The training in concentration has four kinds," etc.: Ximing says: "Former masters determined: the first four grounds; the fifth, sixth, and seventh grounds; the eighth, ninth, and tenth grounds, the diamond-like concentration, and Buddhahood—the four concentrations correspond to them sequentially. Although citing the ancient explanation, he made no other determination." I now say: This is not so. Why? If there are four concentrations, would they be specifically allocated to the grounds? Morality and wisdom are also many; why are they not allocated to the grounds? Therefore, we know that according to one's portion, all are cultivated ground by ground.
