As for the "Section on Cultivating Practice and the Faith Mind": "cultivation" means learning and practicing; "practice" means advancing towards. The practices cultivated are of five kinds, as will be distinguished below. "Faith mind" means giving rise to an attitude of receptive assent and joy. Its objects are of four kinds, as will also be distinguished below. "The reason for its coming..." and so forth correlates with the treatise's title; if based on what was established in the Section on Setting Forth the Meaning, then together with the Marks of Setting Out on the Path by Conceptual Differentiation, it corresponds to the meaning of the Vehicle.
