Sixth, as for Dhyāna Master Si of Nanyue, Dhyāna Master Zhizhe, and others of the Chen dynasty establishing four teachings: first is the Tripiṭaka teaching, also called the Hīnayāna teaching, as the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra says: "Nor does he associate closely with scholars who are attached to the Hīnayāna Tripiṭaka," and in the *Upadeśa, the Hīnayāna is the Tripiṭaka while the Mahāyāna is the Mahāyāna basket; second is called the common teaching, also called the gradual teaching, referring to Mahāyāna sūtras commonly expounding the three vehicles and commonly providing for the three faculties, and also as in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, where the ground of dry wisdom and so forth are common to the three vehicles; third is called the distinct teaching, also called the sudden teaching, referring to suddenly expounding the principles and Dharma gates spoken in Mahāyāna sūtras that are not shared with the Hīnayāna; fourth is called the perfect teaching, also called the esoteric teaching, expounding the sovereign, complete, and consummate dharmadhātu, the unimpeded Dharma gate of one-is-all and all-is-one, which is the Buddhāvataṃsaka, the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra, and the like.
