[C]hapter 3 through Chapter 9 are called “the seven chapters of clear exposition,” and they serve to further clarify skillful means. At the very end of Chapter Two, the Buddha says in verse,

All of you, knowing now
That the Buddhas, the Teachers of the Ages,
In accord with what is peculiarly appropriate have recourse to expedient devices,
Need have no more doubts or uncertainties.
Your hearts shall give rise to great joy,
Since you know that you yourselves shall become Buddhas.
