Chapter VI"World-honored One, among the five obfuscations, which impedequietude, which vision, and which both together?""Good son, flightiness and evildoing are obstacles to quietude.Melancholy, laziness, and doubt are obstacles to vision. Covetousnessand annoyance are obstacles to both together.""World-honored One, how does one determine the degree towhich the path of quietude has been perfected and purified?""Good son, to the degree that melancholy and laziness havebeen eradicated, to that degree one says that the path of quietudehas been perfected and purified.""World-honored One, how does one determine the degree towhich the path of vision has been perfected and purified?""Good son, to the degree that flightiness and evil actions havebeen eradicated, to that degree one says that the path of visionhas been perfected and purified.""World-honored One, in realizing quietude and vision, of howmany distractions must bodhisattvas be aware?""Good son, they must be aware of five: distraction in regard to[their] attention, distraction in regard to externals, distraction inregard to internals, distraction in regard to images, and the distractionof gross weakness. Good son, if bodhisattvas reject attendingto the great vehicle and fall into the attending ofword-hearers and solitary enlightened ones, that is distraction inregard to [their] attending. If they allow their minds to be scatteredamong the passionate inclinations perceived upon all theconfusing images of the five external sense attractions, that is distractionin regard to externals. If they become immersed in melancholy,attached to the taste of trance through laziness, or defiledby the accompanying passion for any other trance state, that isthe distraction in regard to internals. If, in attending to and thinkingupon the images wrought by means of interior concentration,they rely upon images of external things, that is the distraction inregard to images. If internally they attend to sensations that ariseconditionally and yet, because of their gross weakness, imagine aself and engender pride, that is the distraction of gross weakness."69
