Body upāya: such as manifesting as the two vehicles, the elder in dirty clothes, and the Buddha under the king of trees. 2. Speech upāya: that is, when there are no three, speaking of three, meaning falsely pointing outside the gate and declaring there are three carriages. 3. Mind upāya: that is, the two reflections: first, reflecting and remembering the past Buddhas; second, reflecting that I have appeared in an evil world of turbidities. This accords above with the ancient Buddhas and conforms below with sentient beings; these two kinds of conditions give rise to the wisdom of upāya, which is called mind upāya. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.20) - [Next: 3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.22) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.3.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.21) · Pramāṇa
