THE 18ab KNOWINGS The three realms, and the stainless, and The noncom pound are twofold each There are ten dharmas into which knowables can be divided To know how many are the object o f each o f the knowings, apply them The way the dhar mas are divided into ten is that the defiled three realms and the stainless dhar mas are each divided into concurrent and not concurrent, and the noncom pound has virtue and neutral, so they are twofold each or divided in two iii How much one knowing knows 18cd Just relative knows what is outside Its own collection to be selfless Can one knowing know all dharmas? you ask It cannot However, just the relative knowing knows all dharmas that are outside its own collection to be selfless Here, its “own collection” is its essence and the dharmas that are si multaneous with it Because their object is separate from their subject, because they are separate from their focus, and because they are extremely close, these not see each other, just as the eye cannot perceive the eyebrows II Explanation of possession 19 O n the first o f undefiled moments, Those who are attached possess one knowing O n second, three After on each O f four moments they have another W hich individuals possess how many knowings? you ask An ordinary indi vidual who is attached possesses relative knowing alone, and if detached they also possess defiled knowing o f mind O f nobles who are on the first of the undefiled m om ents, those who are attached possess the one relative knowing O n the second m om ent dharma knowing and duhkha knowing are added, so they have three After that on each o f four mom ents, the fourth, sixth, tenth, and fourteenth, they have an other knowing— subsequent knowing, knowing o f origin, knowing o f cessa tion, and knowing o f path respectively O n the path o f m editation, they possess those seven If they are detached, knowing minds is added to all of these: they would possess two on the first m om ent and so on up to eight on the path of 509 YOUTHFUL PLAY ?f A R E A VII meditation A nonlearner possesses the first nine if of dull faculties, and all ten if sharp III How the knowings are attained This has four topics: Attained during the path o f seeing, Attained on other paths, How many are attained from each path, and Classifications o f their attainment Attained during the path of seeing 20 As they arise on the path o f seeing, Future forbearances and knowings Like them are gained O n that upon Three subsequent, the relative, too 21 Thus they are called clear realization’s end They are nonarising dharmas O n its own And lower levels Cessations is the last Their own truths’ aspects Born o f effort At what points are how many knowings attained? you ask As they, the eight forbearance and seven knowings, arise on the path o f seeing, when they arise the future similar forbearances and knowings like them are gained in their own time Thus when dharma forbearance o f duhkha arises, the attainm ent of a future dharma forbearance with similar focus and aspects arises and so forth For the attached, the level is only N ot Unable, and for those detached, any o f the six levels One attains the forbearance of two times for the level of one’s bodily support O ne attains only the future forbearance o f other levels, but it does not become manifest because multiple paths o f seeing not arise O n th at path of seeing itself upon three subsequent knowings o f suffering, origin, and cessation, the relative knowing is attained, too It is not attained on dharma knowing, because the truth has not been clearly realized to its full extent W hy not on subsequent knowing o f path? you ask The truth of the path itself is not clearly realized by the previous worldly path, and the truth has not been clearly realized to its full extent T hus they— the relative know ings that arise out of the subsequent knowings of suffering, origin, and cessa tion— are called “arisen from clear realizations end” because they arise after the clear realization of each truth Well, not these relative knowings that are arisen from the end o f clear realization sometimes become manifest? you ask Because they are nonarising dharmas, they not become manifest The relative knowings o f how many levels are attained? you ask Relative knowings are attained on the level that is its, the path o f seeing’s, own and on 510 HOW THE KNOWINGS ARE ATTAINED lower levels If the path o f seeing is on N ot Unable, relative knowings of that level and the lower level o f Desire are attained The relative knowing arisen from the end o f clear realization o f cessation is the last o f the four foundations o f mindfulness, mindfulness o f dharmas The other two are all are foundations o f mindfulness These relative knowings arisen from the end o f clear realization have their own tru th s aspects, attained on the level of the clear realization o f that truth Because they are attained by the path o f seeing, they are born o f effort, not through detachment Attained on other paths This has two topics: a Explaining those with dif ferent counts individually, and b Explaining those similar counts together a Explaining those with different counts individually This has two topics: i How many are attained on the path o f learning, and ii How many are at tained on the path o f no learning i H ow many are attained on the path of learning This has five topics: (1) How many are attained on the sixteenth moment, (2) O n most o f the path of meditation, (3) O n the eight paths of liberation from the Peak of Existence, (4) O n the learner’s paths of liberation when purifying faculties, and (5) O n the paths of no obstacles o f the Peak o f Existence (1) How many are attained on the sixteenth moment This has two points (a) Attached 22a Attached gain six on the sixteenth Those who are attached to Desire gain six knowings— the four knowings of the four truths, dharma knowing, and subsequent knowing— when abiding on the sixteenth m om ent, subsequent knowing of path This is knowing that is liberated from discards o f seeing, but it is not liberated from discards of meditation because it is mere abiding in the result Because subsequent know ing o f path is by nature both path knowing and subsequent knowing, those are attained in the present, but the four other knowings are attained in the fu ture only Because these individuals are attached, it is on the level o f N ot U n able It is produced by completing seeing, so it is attained from the expansion o f a cause o f similar status They not attain knowing others’ minds because they are attached to 5ii YOUTHFUL PLAY * AREA VII Desire Relative knowing is not attained because “what has already been ac quired is not acquired”: it has already been acquired Knowing extinction and nonarising are not acquired because they are learners (b) Detached 22b Those detached from Desire gain seven Those detached from the Desire realm gain seven: knowing others’ minds in addition to the previous six (2) How many are attained on most of the path of meditation This has two points (a) Attached 22cd Later on paths o f meditation, The attached attain the seven knowings Later, after the sixteenth mom ent, the subsequent knowing of path, on the paths o f m editation— all the paths of joining, no obstacles, liberation, and distinction— those attached to Desire attain the seven knowings: dharma knowing, subsequent knowing, four knowings o f four truths, and relative knowing If it is a worldly path of meditation that views the aspects o f peaceful and coarse, the present relative knowing arises However if the path is transworldly, since subsequent knowing is not the antidote for Desire but dharma knowing is, dharma knowing and knowing o f one of the four truths arises in the present The remaining knowings are attained in the future, be cause they develop the cause o f same status o f their own class As the individ uals are attached and learners, the other three knowings are not attained (b) Detached 23a—c In victory over seven levels, Gaining clairvoyance and unshakable, Paths o f no obstacles for alternating In the victory over the seven levels o f the four dhyanas and three Formless that detaches one from desire, and in gaining the five clairvoyances other than extinction o f defilements, learners attain seven knowings: dharma knowing, subsequent knowing, knowings of the four truths, and relative knowing 12 HOW THE KNOWINGS ARE ATTAINED A nd on realizing and attaining the status of unshakable, seven knowings, the six undefiled that go with all and knowing extinction, are attained Relative knowing, knowing others’ minds, and knowing nonarising are not attained The first is not attained because the paths of refining are always undefiled and there is no cause to attain anything else The latter two are not attained because they are paths of liberation O n any o f the paths o f no obstacles for the alternating meditation as well, the six undefiled and relative knowing are attained The other three are not attained because these are not nonlearner, so the latter two are not attained, and it is not a path o f liberation, so knowing others’ minds is not attained (3) H ow many are attained on the eight paths of liberation from the Peak of Existence 23d Eight paths of liberation from the highest O n the first eight paths o f liberation that vanquish the level o f the Peak of Existence that is higher than the other seven levels, seven knowings are at tained: the six undefiled and knowing others’ minds (4) How many are attained on the learner's paths of liberation when puri fying faculties 24a—c O n learner’s liberation of refining, One gains six or else seven knowings, o r Six on paths of no obstacles O n attached learner s paths of liberation o f refining faculties, one gains six knowings: dharma knowing, subsequent knowing, knowing suffering, origin, cessation, and path O r else if detached, knowing others’ minds is added for a total of seven knowings attained The word “or” indicates that there is an other tradition that says that both attached and detached also attain relative knowing O n the paths of joining, they both also attain relative knowing W hether the learner is attached or detached, six knowings are attained as above on paths o f no obstacles for refining faculties Relative knowing is not attained because this is similar to the path o f seeing Knowing others’ minds is also not attained, because it is blocked on all paths of no obstacles W hy is it blocked? you ask Because it is not an antidote 513 ... attained on the path of learning This has five topics: (1 ) How many are attained on the sixteenth moment, (2 ) O n most o f the path of meditation, (3 ) O n the eight paths of
