Eighth, concerning the antidotes, giving is free from seven attachments: first, attachment to material wealth; second, attachment to slackness; third, attachment to one-sided grasping; fourth, attachment to repayment of kindness; fifth, attachment to fruition and reward; sixth, attachment to obstacles; seventh, attachment to distraction. Herein, attachment to obstacles means that the dormant affliction of greed countered by giving is not severed. Attachment to distraction has two aspects: first, distraction of lower inclination, because of seeking the Small Vehicle; second, distraction of conceptualization, because of conceptualizing the three spheres. As for the countering of the remaining six hindrances, the first five reverse the preceding—meaning that morality is free from attachment to breaking precepts, and so forth; that morality and the rest are free from attachment to obstacles is because the dormant afflictions of those obstacles are completely severed; that morality and the rest are free from attachment to conceptualization is because they do not conceptualize according to their respective three spheres.
