[Treatise:] "Differentiating the marks of setting forth on the path: [because it means setting forth...]" [Commentary:] Above, countering erroneous attachments was clarified. Next, the third section concerns the marks of setting forth on the path. Within this there are two: first, indicating the intent and revealing the name; second, individually opening up the distinctions. This is the first. The "path of realizing": this is suchness, because this is the path realized by the Buddha's wisdom. "The meaning of setting forth": this explains the name of the path. This realized principle is that toward which all bodhisattvas set forth, and is therefore called the path. Wanting to clarify the bodhisattvas' generating the aspiration and practicing to set forth toward the path realized by all buddhas, it is therefore called "differentiating the marks of setting forth on the path."
