9.13

Topical outline: "Revealing the four stages." This corresponds to the four stages of ordinary being, worthy, noble, and fruit in the Yuanjue jing. Alternatively, they may be unfolded into five stages, namely: provision, application, penetrating comprehension, cultivation, and ultimate. Or they may be subsumed into three, called: practice of faith, pure mind, and ultimate. In broad terms, there are fifty-two stages.
