Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra(अनासरवमार्�) or Lokottaramārga refers to the “pure path� representing one of the two practices regarding absorptions (貹ٳپ), according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XXVIII).—“The absorptions can be practiced according to the worldly path (ܰ쾱첹) or the supramundane path (ǰdzٳٲ).—The supramundane path (ǰdzٳٲ), also called pure path (), is followed by the saints (Ārya) endowed with pure wisdom, who have “seen� the four holy truths (ⲹٲⲹ) and have understood the sixteen aspects (ṣo岹ś) by reason of the four aspects of each truth. This path assures the definitive liberation of the passions and, whereas in the impure path the ascetic must enter into the preliminary concentration (峾Գٲ첹) of the immediately higher sphere in order to be liberated from the passions of his own sphere, the saint who is following the pure path cuts the passions of his level directly without resorting to any 峾Գٲ첹 ɳٲDZ𱹱�.
