Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra, Volume Thirty-Four (Seventy-Six)

Original text:当知修业略有八种。一有一类法由修故得。二有一类法由修故习。三有一类法由修故净。四有一类法由修故遣。五有一类法由修故知。六有一类法由修故断。七有一类法由修故证。八有一类法由修故远。

Explanation: The practice of cultivation (bhāvanā-karma) can be roughly divided into eight kinds: First, there is a class of dharmas that are obtained only through cultivation; second, there is a class of dharmas that manifest and appear only through cultivation; third, there is a class of dharmas that are purified only through cultivation; fourth, there is a class of dharmas that are eliminated only through cultivation; fifth, there is a class of dharmas that are realized and known only through cultivation; sixth, there is a class of dharmas that are severed only through cultivation; seventh, there is a class of dharmas that are realized and attained only through cultivation; eighth, there is a class of dharmas that are distanced from only through cultivation.
