Answer: Because they are in the person of a trainee and so forth and have an orientation toward advancement, they are also called trainee and so forth. Thus fascicle sixty-six states: 'What are trainee dharmas? They are, for stream-enterers and other pugdalas who are trainees, either supra-mundane conditioned dharmas or mundane wholesome dharmas; these are called trainee dharmas. Why? Because relying on these dharmas, they vigorously practice and train in the three trainings of morality and so forth from time to time. What are non-trainee dharmas? They are, for arhats whose contaminations are already exhausted, either supra-mundane conditioned dharmas or mundane wholesome dharmas; these are called non-trainee dharmas. Excluding the previously explained trainee and non-trainee dharmas, the remaining dharmas of stream-enterers up to arhats, and dharmas subsumed under all ordinary persons—one should know that these are called dharmas of neither trainee nor non-trainee.' Furthermore, the second fascicle of the Abhidharmasamuccaya-bhāṣya states: 'All wholesome dharmas of those seeking liberation are the meaning of the trainee. All wholesome dharmas of those who have attained the culmination among the trainings are the non-trainee. Dharmas of the three natures belonging to all ordinary persons, the defiled and avyākṛta [dharmas] of trainees, the avyākṛta dharmas of non-trainees, and unconditioned dharmas, are neither trainee nor non-trainee.' The Abhidharmasamuccaya-bhāṣya broadly refers previously to 'seeking liberation,' whereas the Yogācārabhūmi, based on the superior, speaks of what is on the path of seeing; the treatises' intentions do not contradict one another.
