Second, explaining "heard": in the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, there are four kinds: (1) hearing what is heard, (2) hearing what is not heard, (3) not hearing what is heard, and (4) not hearing what is not heard. Now it is plausible that these distinguish hearing in terms of the four teachings. The Tripiṭaka Teaching is "hearing what is heard." Just as "rebirth and rebirth" (saṃsāra) is named so because small rebirth produces great rebirth, here too one may say that slight hearing becomes great hearing, hence it is called "hearing what is heard."
