【The Three Types of Persons 】- The Entire Essence of Buddha Dharma is Included Within the Paths of the Three Types Persons
After making this decision, next, sincerely take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity. By then, abide by the systematic order to advance step by step. Now let’s take a look at this uncontrived recognition, what is it all about?
【a. How to develop certain knowledge of a general presentation of the path The way to develop certain knowledge of a general presentation of the path itself has two parts: 】
It is divided into two parts.
【1. How all the scriptures are included within the paths of the three types of persons 2. Why students are led in stages using the trainings of the three types of persons 】
The first is saying in this Lamrim, the teaching covers three types of persons: small scope, middle scope, and great scope. Conversely, it can also be said that the entire path of this Lamrim study can be divided into three major sections. These three sections completely include the entire essence of Buddha Dharma without any oversight. So it is said for these three types of persons, all scriptures are included. “All the scriptures” are what the sages taught. This concept we have to recognize first. And for the next, why are we guided stepwise with these three types of persons? Once you have a proper understanding of these two, all problems will be solved.

【初中分二。】
分成两部分。
【①三士道中总摄一切至言之理，②显示由三士门如次引导之因相。】
第一个呢，这个说现在本论是讲的是三士：下士、中士、上士。 反过来说，也可以这么说，整个要学的道，要讲的内容分这样的三个大纲。这个三个大纲把整个的佛法主要的精要全部统摄，一点没有遗漏。所以说三士道当中，总共地含摄了所有的至言，“至言”就是胜者所讲的，这个道理我们首先要有个认识。 那么其次呢，为什么要这个三士道这样地一步一步引导的原因何在？你对这两个有了正确的认识，问题就解决了。
