The "\[Explanation of the\] Fundamental Doctrine" is aloof and unencumbered, admitting of no dispute; therefore it is merely called an "explanation" (yi). The four texts from "\[Things Do\] Not Shift" onward, intending to receive and guide students, make hypothetical use of question and answer; therefore they are called "treatises" (lun). Some editions read "clear opening" (kaitong); other editions read "interconnection" (guanshe). The Xiaoya says: "Kai means 'to reach'." As for the statement that questions and answers analyzing and investigating are why they are called treatises: treatises are fundamentally aimed at analyzing principles; since these four sections analyze principles, they are simply named treatises. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.22) - [Next: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.24) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859~en-mt.1.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.1.23) · Pramāṇa
