(Therefore, "distanced" means coarse afflictions are separated from; the seeds of evil karma are properly aligned, hence they are called latent propensities—this is the intended meaning. This concludes the first meaning.) \[Treatise:\] Second is defilement associated with continuity, which can be gradually relinquished by relying on the stage of corresponding faith through cultivating expedient means, and is ultimately abandoned upon attaining the stage of the pure mind. \[Commentary:\] "Defilement associated with continuity" refers to the second of the five minds from the coarse, which is the continuous consciousness. It is called continuous; continuity of attachment to dharmas is termed "uninterrupted." Polluting the pure mind is called defilement. Bodhisattvas of the three stages of worthies from the first abode upward cultivate and study consciousness-only and the real wisdom of investigation. What is consciousness-only? "Only" means being separated from the four propositions and cutting off the hundred negations; tathatā is also called \[…\], coarsely severing what is aligned, hence called consciousness-only. Question: What is the real wisdom of investigation? Answer: "Real" means clear wisdom. Worldly dharmas are wholly unreal, like illusions without any substantial reality; hence it is called the real wisdom of investigation, also called direct realization. "Expedient means": the essence being correct is "method" (fāng); aiding the path is "expedient" (biàn). One gradually suppresses such conceptual differentiation of attachment to dharmas. If all seeds of latent propensities are corrected, they are simply said to be simultaneously corrected. One attains the undefiled pure mind of the stages, realizing the three non-natures and the omnipresent tathatā. Because the seeds and manifestations of the conceptual differentiation of attachment to dharmas are both corrected, upon the stage of the pure mind it is ultimately abandoned. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.39) - [Next: 1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.41) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815~en-mt.1.40) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.29) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.156) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.40) · Pramāṇa
