If there are dull ones within the sharp, seeing the truths only severs the sharp, and the dull should still remain. The Abhidharma masters call the dull that accompany the sharp 'proclivities on the back'; when seeing the truths severs \[delusions\], since the primary sharp ones are eliminated, the proclivities on the back are also eliminated. It is also like this with cultivation \[of the path\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.8.7) - [Next: 8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.8.9) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.8.8) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [翻譯名義集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.6.18) — 法雲, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.8.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.8.8) · Pramāṇa
