6.48

Answer: If it were the Lotus Sūtra's "honestly discarding expedient means," it would be possible to use only the one ultimate truth of the perfect teaching as the substance. This sūtra still carries the two kinds of expedient means, the shared and the distinctive; hence all three kinds of ultimate truths internal to principle can serve as the substance of this sūtra. But there are secondary and primary: the inconceivable ultimate truth is the primary.
