3.7
Regarding the identification of its substantial nature: expedient means is wisdom, having discernment (prajñā) as its nature. Non-conceptual wisdom internally directly realizes the true sphere, while within subsequently attained wisdom (pṛṣṭhalabdha-jñāna) one benefits others and expounds the Dharma, being able to give rise to the wondrous function of expedient means; therefore, it has subsequently attained wisdom as its nature. As the Vijñaptimātratā and other texts state, the latter five pāramitās all have subsequently attained wisdom as their nature. Although that which expresses and that which is expressed are distinct in nature, they are manifested by relying on wisdom; now, following the fundamental, wisdom is taken as its nature.
