楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 1.209

1.209

He asks about the capacities of those to be transformed and about their viewpoints. Siddhānta means universal bestowing, and there are four kinds: first, the worldly siddhānta—'worldly' means sequential, referring to hearing the Dharma expounded and sequentially gaining the benefit of joy; second, the counteractive siddhānta, referring to hearing the Dharma and practicing to directly break past hindrances, gaining the benefit of eliminating evil; third, the individual-adaptation siddhānta, referring to gaining the benefit of generating goodness because of hearing the Dharma; fourth, the ultimate siddhānta, referring to gaining the benefit of awakening to the truth because of hearing the Dharma.
