'Concluding the non-emergence' summarizes the expedient means of the demon's self-mastery. 'Concluding the non-inversion' summarizes the expedient means of the sixth transformation.

'Entering this gate of the treasury of merit' concludes the six kinds of expedient means' tranquil function and practice. 'Without the arising of habitual actions of the three realms, and constantly cultivating the contemplation of relinquishment' concludes entering the realm of no-form.

Furthermore, the Bodhisattva of Virtue and Wisdom is the Bodhisattva of the Stainless Stage. 'Similar to the Four Immeasurable Minds' means personally cultivating the ten virtues and teaching others to practice the ten virtues.

'Extinguishing afflictions such as anger in the three realms' means that among the ten non-virtuous actions, the ripening karma initially arises from actions or causes. Now, it is intended to show that the karma of non-killing is used to counteract the karma of killing, hence it is said to extinguish anger, etc. 'Dwelling in afflictions, in the midst of patience' refers to the middle grade of faith-patience.

Regarding the third Luminous Stage, 'From the beginning to attaining the three kinds of knowledge, contemplating all merits' clarifies the practice of counteracting expedient means. 'Secondly, constantly using six asamkhya kalpas to uphold all dharmas' clarifies the merit of maturing practice. Furthermore, 'the entry of the Way of Bright Wisdom' clarifies that the Bodhisattva of the third stage is extensively learned and speaks the Dharma for sentient beings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Because it can act as illumination, it is named Minghui Daoru (Enlightened Wisdom Entering the Path). Constantly practicing the three illuminations contemplation (san ming guan) within the patience of non-form (wu xiang ren). Faith and patience reach the supreme wisdom, without differentiation. Because of practicing within it, it is said to be within the patience of non-form. Skillful in entering the eight dhyanas (ba chan), traveling through the divine four immeasurables (si deng), the five supernatural powers (wu tong) are without obstruction. Clearly discerning the three times (san shi) – past, present, and future – therefore it is said to practice the three illuminations contemplation. Knowing that the dharmas of the three times have no coming and going, and no present dwelling place. When mind after mind is extinguished (xin xin ji mie), the spirit becomes more tranquil and the illumination becomes brighter, therefore it is said that mind after mind is extinguished. Exhausting the ignorance and afflictions of the three realms (san jie), because there is no dark mind of ignorance obstructing the eye of wisdom. The ignorance and afflictions of the three realms attain the contemplation of the three illuminations and all merits, because the aspect of darkness has ceased, true illumination shines forth, and all virtues are purely cultivated, therefore it is said to attain the contemplation of the three illuminations and all merits. It then becomes the above-mentioned illumination contemplation. Constantly using six asamkhya kalpas (liu a seng qi jie) (an extremely long period of time) to accumulate immeasurable bright paramitas (ming bo luo mi) (perfections), is the ladder of virtuous conduct through kalpas. It can also be said that the time of practice enters the position of Kalada (jia luo tuo) (a state of cultivation). The non-form practice upholds all dharmas, and then becomes the above-mentioned constantly using the patience of non-form. Within the fourth ground (si di), understand the two sentences of the sutra. From the beginning to extinguishing all views of the three realms, understand the expedient practice of counteracting. From also using seven asamkhya kalpas, to constantly not leaving the mind, understand the accomplishment of virtuous conduct. Furthermore, Er Yan Sheng Jue Da Bodhisattva (a bodhisattva who has attained a certain state), this great being of the fourth ground follows the lower grade of patience, non-giving, upholding precepts, and learning increase gradually, majestic virtue flourishes, and is named the Flame Ground (yan di). Reversing the flow of the five views (ni wu jian liu), the great being of the fourth ground, cultivates the contemplation of the path factors (dao pin) and so on, without dwelling on the ability to understand or enter, and various views do not arise, therefore it is said to reverse the flow of the five views. Accumulating immeasurable merits, □ the path factors, conduct, precepts, samadhi, and wisdom are completely accomplished without deficiency, therefore it is said to accumulate immeasurable merits. Dwelling in the position of Srotapanna (xu tuo huan) (one of the four stages of enlightenment in Buddhism, meaning stream-enterer), the sutra says that the Qin language is the Flame Ground of Contemplation and Illumination. Constantly using the heavenly eye and even the physical body to observe, the meaning of the five supernatural powers, as explained earlier. Extinguishing all views of the three realms, summarizing the above reversing the flow of the five views. Also using seven asamkhya kalpas, summarizing the above accumulating immeasurable meritorious conduct. The five supernatural powers and even constantly not leaving the mind, summarizing the above five supernatural powers are in the fifth ground. There are two sentences in the sutra, from the beginning to entering the position of Sakrdagamin (si tuo han) (one of the four stages of enlightenment in Buddhism, meaning once-returner), understand the expedient practice of counteracting. From again accumulating practice --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
