Second, "The Virtue of Wisdom":
Regarding the Commentary's "Diligently cultivating the two kinds of goodness": as for goodness that has already arisen, one cultivates it to make it increase; as for goodness that has not yet arisen, one cultivates it to make it arise. Therefore, the present text says "initiating and increasing," which indicates these two meanings. As for "upholding by acting" (zuochi): it is discussed in terms of wholesome dharmas—acting is therefore called "upholding," and stopping is therefore called "transgressing."
