The pāramitā of expedient means accords with beings' sentiments to provide proximate benefit, hence it is named "provisional"; the pāramitā of wisdom matches the principle and is ultimate, hence it is named "ultimate." Thus the three teachings temporarily accommodate beings' sentiments, hence they are named provisional; the perfect teaching provides ultimate benefit to beings, hence it is named ultimate. In differentiating the provisional and the ultimate, four meanings are required: first, clarifying that all is neither provisional nor ultimate; second, clarifying that all is provisional; third, clarifying that all is ultimate; fourth, clarifying that all has both provisional and ultimate. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.4.28) - [Next: 4.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.4.30) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.4.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.4.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.4.29) · Pramāṇa
