Because the principle-essence is non-dual, it is called the One Vehicle. With regard to the phenomenon of the One Vehicle, skillfully knowing the distinct characteristics of sentient beings is called 'expedient means.' 'Non-dual characteristic' explains the One Vehicle above. Within it, 'penetrating all practice-characteristics' explains its expedient means. Furthermore, the \*Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra\* says: 'The dharmadhātu is without differentiation; in order to cross over sentient beings, the three vehicles are explained with differentiation.' Also, the \*Lotus Sūtra\* says: 'All Buddhas, through the power of expedient means, within the One Buddha Vehicle explain three with differentiation.' The complete explanation of the One Vehicle is discussed as in a separate chapter. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.238](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.238) - [Next: 3.240](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.240) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.3.239) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.239](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.239) · Pramāṇa
