This path assures the definitive liberation of the passions and, whereas in the impure path the ascetic must enter into the preliminary concentration (蝉腻尘补苍迟补办补) 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 蝉腻尘补苍迟补办补 飞丑补迟蝉辞别惫别谤鈥�.
