Dark discourse (黑說; in contrast to 'great discourse', it means that if what the Buddha and his disciples teach is unwholesome phenomena, it is called 'dark discourse', while the wholesome phenomena taught are called 'great discourse'; alternatively, what is taught by persons of the four fruits, pratyekabuddhas, bodhisattvas, and the like is called 'dark discourse', whereas what is taught by the Buddha is called 'great discourse').
