[translation-eng] {Hopkins} practice-ultimate [i.e., exalted wisdom of meditative equipoise (mnyam gzhag ye shes)]

[comments] Comment: This is one of the three meanings of ultimate (don dam, paramārtha) according to Matireya's Differentiation of the Middle and Extremes (III.11ab): object-ultimate (don don dam, i.e., thusness); attainment-ultimate (thob pa don dam, i.e., nirvāṇa); and practice-ultimate (sgrub pa don dam, true paths). BJ calls them terminological divisions, not actual divisions.
