Second, they may be opened into two: first, the root teaching, meaning the distinct teaching of the One Vehicle, because it is the root of all teachings; second, the branch teachings, meaning the Hīnayāna and Three Vehicles, because they flow forth from it. They are also called the ultimate and the upāya, because looking toward the One Vehicle, both the Three Vehicles and the Hīnayāna are entirely upāya. Third, they may be opened into three, meaning the teachings of the One Vehicle, the Three Vehicles, and the Hīnayāna, because from within upāya the two vehicles of those ignorant of the Dharma are opened out. Fourth, they may be divided into four, meaning the Hīnayāna, the gradual, the sudden, and the perfect, because both the initial and final teachings reside in verbal explanation, and so forth. Fifth, they may be dispersed into five, as expounded above. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.1.65) - [Next: 1.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.1.67) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866~en-mt.1.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.1.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.1.66) · Pramāṇa
