Morality (Vinaya or Shila)
= Morality; Karma; Cause and Effect
= Interpretive Meaning (Ngedon) = changeable
2. Second Turning
Concentration (Samadhi)
= Definitive Meaning (Drangdon) = unchanging
3. Third Turning
Wisdom (Prajna)
= Abhidharma
= Mixture of Interpretive and Definitive Meanings
= Both Relative and Absolute
= what changes and what is unchanging
Three Ways the Buddha Taught
