Disclosing the former oral secret comprises five objections in brief: the fourth and fifth adduce nirvāṇa without remainder; the first, second, and third adduce nirvāṇa with remainder. Fayao states: In what has been clarified above, permanent abidance has already been revealed; now from here down through 'the Tathāgata has no secret storehouse,' it discloses the former secret teaching of impermanence and the physical secret. 'May the Buddha disclose what is subtle and secret' is precisely this phrase. Sengzong states: This answers the question on disclosing what is subtle and secret. Although prajñā and dharmakāya were clarified above as distinct from the former nirvāṇa, the former teaching was not yet wiped clean; now clarifying solitary extinction breaks what was not real. Disclosing the former subtle and secret teaching is none other than disclosing the upāya of speech. The awakening flowers below clarify that the royal palace was not a real birth, and the Twin Trees was not a real extinction. Baoliang states: This is the beginning of the expanded text. The threshold of disclosing the subtle and secret clarifies the functioning of the fruit, revealing dharmakāya, prajñā, and vimokṣa. Now it first expands on the oral secret to clarify wisdom. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.12.3) - [Next: 12.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.12.5) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.12.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.12.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.12.4) · Pramāṇa
