Broadly divided into two, there are ten kinds overall: First, from the first chapter up to the "Dharma Master Chapter", there are nine chapters in all, clarifying upāya of the vehicle and the real of the vehicle; next, after the "Jeweled Stūpa Chapter" has ended, there are six and a half chapters of the sūtra, clarifying upāya of the body and the real of the body. The triyāna of former days refers to upāya of the vehicle; now clarifying the ekayāna refers to the real of the vehicle. The body of arising and ceasing of former days refers to upāya of the body; now the body without arising and ceasing refers to the real of the body. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.55) - [Next: 3.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.57) - [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.3.56) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.56) · Pramāṇa
