Tendai Lotus School Teachings, p 82Q: What if one interprets the Five Flavors with regard to this classification of crude and subtle?
A: The Milk Teaching includes two interpretations of conditioned co-arising, one crude and one subtle. The Cream Teaching is just one crude interpretation. The Curds Teaching includes three crude interpretations and one subtle interpretation. The Butter Teaching includes two crude interpretations and one subtle interpretation. The Lotus Ghee [Teaching] merely expounds one subtle interpretation. Thus I have given a summary of the main ideas. Details are in the original text [the Fa-hua hsüan-i].
