The record of Farong says: "'The Great Sage' means that among all the teachings, the master of this present teaching is the most supreme. Question: In the four teachings below, do the transformer and the transformed both fall short? Answer: Yes. Question: The three bodies that transform in the three vehicles are merely the great functioning of the ten bodies of the One Vehicle; why say they fall short? Answer: Since it is said that they are merely the functioning of the ten bodies, they fall short. Question: The ten Buddhas are simply the Sambhogakāya for one's own enjoyment, which is the Buddha beneath the tree. Why say they fall short? Answer: If considered in terms of this meaning, one could say they reach it; however, wishing to distinguish the grades of teaching, it is said that they fall short."
