Practice has two levels: first, the lineage of practice; second, the virtue of practice. Within each of these two, there is a beginning and an end. Within the lineage of practice, habituated lineage is the initial habituation, and natural lineage is the final completion. Within the virtue of practice, understanding-and-practice is the initial habituation, and the ten grounds are the final completion. Because practice has these distinctions, four stages are distinguished.
