There is only one teaching, that is, the One Vehicle
\nIn the Buddha-worlds of the ten quarters.
\nThere is not a second or third vehicle
\nExcept when the Buddhas teaching expediently.<\/p>\n
The Buddhas lead all living beings
\nBy tentative names [of\u00a0 vehicles]
\nIn order to expound their wisdom.
\nThey appear in the worlds
\nOnly for the One Vehicle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
