4. Chapter ii 16 Modes of Conveying: Combined Treatment (Continued) (NE31)

[12]

622. Herein, what is the Mode of Conveying Ways of Entry? [It is as follows:]

So let his cognizance be guarded …

623.“So let his cognizance be guarded, Having for pasture right intention, Giving right view first place”: when right view is admitted the five faculties are admitted [right view being synonymous with the understanding faculty]. This is the way of entry by Faculties.

624. Those same faculties are science. With the arising of science, cessation of ignorance (nescience); with cessation of ignorance, cessation of determinations; … and so the whole Dependent Arising … This is the way of entry by Dependent Arising.

625. Those same faculties are comprised by the Categories, by the virtue category, by the concentration category, and by the understanding category. This is the way of entry by Categories.

626. Those same categories are included in determinations. These determinations—[in this case] free from taints and not factors of being—are comprised within the idea element. This is the way of entry by Elements.

627. That idea element is included in the idea base, which base is [in this case] free from taints and not a factor of being. This is the way of entry by Bases.

The Mode of Conveying Ways of Entry in Combined Treatment is ended.
