ABSTRACT
Just as the linguist [gradually] teaches grammar, so the Buddha taught [various] teachings appropriate to the needs of disciples. Some [he taught] to counteract vice; some to cultivate virtue. Some [he taught] based on [the] dualism [of world versus Nirvana]. [And finally, he taught some] the profound, awe-inspiring practice of enlightenment not based on dualism, in essence, the openness that is compassion.
