Next is the explanation of the Dharma gate of the ten notions. The ten notions are: first, the notion of impermanence; second, the notion of suffering; third, the notion of non-self; fourth, the notion of the foulness of food; fifth, the notion of the joylessness of all worlds; sixth, the notion of death; seventh, the notion of impurity; eighth, the notion of abandonment; ninth, the notion of dispassion; tenth, the notion of cessation. Now, explaining the ten notions entails three points: first, explaining the sequential stages; second, explaining cultivation and realization; third, explaining the notions inclining toward the path.
