6.32

Although this text is brief, it already contains the twenty-five preliminary expedients. 'Staying in a quiet place' refers to an araṇya, which subsumes possessing the five conditions. 'Sitting cross-legged' necessarily involves regulating the five matters. 'Straightening the body and rectifying the mind' means scolding the five desires, discarding the five hindrances, and practicing the five dharmas. These are detailed in the Great and Small Calming and Contemplation; those who need them may look there.
