Then the vajradhara Guhyakādhipati addressed the Buddha, saying: "Lord! The Bhagavat has also spoken of such ten paths of wholesome action in the Śrāvakayāna, and worldly people as well as various non-Buddhists also ever aspire to practice the ten paths of wholesome action. Lord! What distinction is there among them? How are they diverse?" After he had spoken thus, the Buddha addressed the vajradhara Guhyakādhipati, saying: "Excellent, excellent! Guhyakādhipati! Excellent indeed are you, who can ask the Tathāgata about such a matter. Guhyakādhipati! You should listen attentively; I shall now expound the Dharma-gate of the single path that differentiates these paths. Guhyakādhipati! As for the precepts of the Śrāvakayāna, I have taught them as devoid of wisdom and upāya, teaching them to accomplish and develop an extreme wisdom, not practicing the ten paths of wholesome action in an equal manner; and those worldly ones, moreover, being free from grasping a self, are moved by other causes. Bodhisattvas practicing the Mahāyāna enter the equality of all phenomena, embracing wisdom and upāya; because it is for both oneself and others, all their actions proceed. Therefore, Guhyakādhipati, bodhisattvas should diligently cultivate and study this embracing of wisdom and upāya to enter the equality of all phenomena."
