Question: The truth as teaching may well be teaching; how is the truth from perspective also teaching? Since there is the distinction between perspective and teaching, how can both together be teaching? Explanation: The names of the two truths from perspective are also spoken for the sake of sentient beings. Speaking of existence for sentient beings is conventional truth from the perspective of ordinary beings; speaking of emptiness for sentient beings is ultimate truth from the perspective of noble ones. Speaking of emptiness and existence for sentient beings constitutes the two truths from perspective; therefore the two truths from perspective are also teaching.
