Sixty Stanzas on Reasoning, Part 10

Rinpoche explains that the Buddha’s teachings carry two kinds of meaning, expedient and direct, and that karma, rebirth and the first two of the four seals are skilful means leading towards the truth. He describes the order of the six perfections, from generosity to wisdom, and reads stanzas defining samsara as a continuation of obsession, with a table showing apparent arising and ending. Further stanzas hold that if nothing truly exists there is no truth to assert, and that clinging to permanence or to impermanence both fall short. He calls reasoning the only way for those who love doubt, while blessing and devotion are the best, and ends on why merit-making accompanies the teaching on emptiness.
