Second, as for Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha of the Chen dynasty establishing two teachings: they are, first, the gradual, and second, the sudden. With regard to gradual-awakening bodhisattvas, where the great arises from the small, the teaching established possesses the three vehicles and is named the gradual, namely sūtras such as the Mahāparinirvāṇa. If with regard to direct-proceeding, sudden capacities, where the great does not arise from the small, the teaching established is solely the Bodhisattva Vehicle, hence it is named sudden, which is the Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra. Dharma Master Dayuan also shared this view.
