People of the Distinct \[teaching\] are termed dull-rooted in comparison to the Complete; speaking of four where there are not four is called provisional skillfulness. As for the raft metaphor: the intent of the four gates lies in entering the principle, just as the intent of a raft lies in crossing a river; if one grasps at a gate and gives rise to disputes, it is like shouldering a raft and running along the road.
