+Path of Application
+
+    The path of application begins after perfection of the path of
+accumulation.  It has four stages corresponding to the realization of the Four
+Noble Truths: heat, maximum heat, patience, and realization of the highest
+worldly dharma.  Why is it called the path of application?  Because there, one
+makes an effort to directly realize truth.
+
+A.  Five Powers.  Furthermore, during the stages of heat and maximum heat,
+five powers are practiced:
+  the power of faith,
+  the power of perseverance,
+  the power of mindfulness,
+  the power of absorption, and
+  the power of wisdom awareness.
+
+B.  Five Strengths.  During the stages of patience and highest worldly dharma,
+five strengths are practiced:
+  the strength of faith,
+  the strength of perseverance,
+  the strength of mindfulness,
+  the strength of absorption, and
+  the strength of wisdom awareness.
