Entering the Way in the shared teaching also possesses four gates; here we discern the stages with reference to the gate of emptiness, which also comprises three points: first, briefly clarifying the opening of the three vehicles with reference to the shared teaching; second, briefly clarifying the bodhisattva stages in the shared teaching; third, explaining the meanings of pure, undefiled, and acclaiming. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.136](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.136) - [Next: 3.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.138) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.3.137) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [四教義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1929.8.2) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.137](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.137) · Pramāṇa
