1.405

"'abiding in the eight difficult conditions without attaining freedom from difficulty;" Sengzhao says: Seeing difficulty as difficulty, one will surely abandon difficulty and seek freedom from difficulty. If one can not consider difficulty as difficulty, one is able to abide in difficulty; not considering freedom from difficulty as freedom from difficulty, one does not attain freedom from difficulty. "being identical with afflictions and separated from pure dharmas;" Sengzhao says: One who can realize that affliction is not affliction, though afflicted, is pure. If one considers purity as purity, though pure, one is afflicted. Therefore, being identical with affliction and separated from purity is precisely how one is constantly pure.
