The four gates of the shared teaching embody phenomena as the Great Vehicle and skillfully deliver beings in accordance with reality; hence, the facilitating is subtle; the three vehicles realise it partially, so the facilitated is crude. The four gates of the distinctive teaching are the skillful means of the instructional path; hence, the facilitating is crude; they expound entry into the perfect truth, so the facilitated is subtle. The four gates of the perfect teaching are the real discourse of the path of realisation; hence, the facilitating is subtle; reaching the perfect right in the midst of phenomena, the facilitated is also subtle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.43) - [Next: 9.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.45) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.9.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.44) · Pramāṇa
