○五、攝一切位者，若云：「一地即二地，二地即三地，寂滅真如，有何次位？」此則無有次位。又大乘經中處處皆說一切地位。良以無生、無滅，正慧無所得，能治煩惱、業、苦。三道若淨，於無為法中而有差別，次位何嫌？

5.5 Encompassing All Stages: If one says, 'The first ground is the second ground, the second ground is the third ground; in quiescent true suchness, what sequential stages could there be?' then there are no sequential stages. Yet the Mahāyāna sūtras everywhere explain all stages. Truly, because non-arising and non-extinction, the correct wisdom of non-attainment, can remedy afflictions, karma, and suffering: if the three paths are purified, distinctions exist within unconditioned phenomena; what objection could there be to sequential stages?
