What are those one hundred twenty-four? [...] (41) performing good actions is included in no burning pain (asaṃtapta) and no remorse; (42) no burning pain is included in the purity of morality and concentration; (43) truth is included in the concealed truth and the highest truth; (44) reality is included in suchness and the true state; [...]’”.
