According to the Tendai school, there are aspects of being and non-being, and the third aspect is something beyond being and non-being. So for the Tendai school, according to the third aspect, you cannot arrange our teaching this way or that way. To arrange teaching this way or that way, in a time span or in a space span, is not the teaching which may be in the third dimension. And the absolute teaching which we transmit from master to others is not that kind of teaching.
