金師子章雲間類解 1.86

When conditioned arising lacks intrinsic nature and all is as such (tathatā), only then is it the ultimate discourse of the Great Vehicle; therefore it is named 'final.' This also has two aspects: first, the final teaching, named in contrast to the preceding initial teaching; second, the real teaching, named in contrast to the preceding fractional teaching. 'Fractional' is like expedient. The initial is expedient while the final is real, because of the school that reveals reality. However, both the final and real schools, together with the initial and fractional teachings, are all gradual approaches of the Great Vehicle.
