3.110

"The coarsest among the coarse" is the first defilement, the attachment-associated defilement. It is fundamentally what those of the two vehicles and bodhisattvas on the stage of faith depart from. Here, stating that it is the cognitive sphere of ordinary beings' wisdom refers to the stage of faith being termed "internal ordinary beings," who share the same wisdom and severing as persons of the two vehicles, having not yet entered the noble stages of the Mahāyāna.
