問曰：如來地中斷無明業者，真照斷惑合曰斷有二種：一者正斷、二者證斷。緣照正斷，真照證斷。今此論中就證斷門，故入如來地斷也。

Question: If karma-ignorance is severed in the Tathāgata stage, [does] genuine contemplation sever delusion? Answer: Severing is of two kinds: first, direct severing; second, experiential severing. Conditioned observation is direct severing; genuine contemplation is experiential severing. Here in this treatise, it is according to the approach of experiential severing that it is severed upon entering the Tathāgata stage.
