四種秘密 [si zhong mi mi]—Four Kinds of Secrets—[Categories (名數 [ming shu])] There are four kinds of secrets in the Tathagata's (如來 [ru lai]) teaching:
1. Secret of Enabling Entry (令入秘密 [ling ru mi mi]): Śrāvakas (聲聞 [sheng wen]) cling to the doctrine of emptiness (執著空法 [zhi zhe kong fa]), believing that all phenomena (法 [fa]) are empty. The Tathagata teaches the Mahayana (大乘 [da cheng]) doctrine to break their attachment to this limited view of emptiness, thereby enabling them to generate superior understanding (勝解 [sheng jie]) and enter the sacred teaching.
2. Secret of Characteristics (相秘密 [xiang mi mi]): The Tathagata teaches that all phenomena are without inherent nature (無自性 [wu zi xing]), without arising or ceasing (無生無滅 [wu sheng wu mie]), thereby refuting the clinging of externalists (外道 [wai dao]) and ordinary people to characteristics (有相 [you xiang]).
3. Secret of Counteracting (對治秘密 [dui zhi mi mi]): The hidden teachings (隱密之教 [yin mi zhi jiao]) proclaimed by the Tathagata are all meant to counteract and treat the faults (過失 [guo shi]) of sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]). Just as a person with an illness is given medicine according to their condition to bring them comfort.
4. Secret of Transformation (轉變秘密 [zhuan bian mi mi]): Transformation means turning the unwholesome into the wholesome. All the hidden expressions (名言 [ming yan]) of the Tathagata are intended to bring tranquility (寂靜 [ji jing]) to those with distracted minds (散亂心 [san luan xin]), to bring right view (正見 [zheng jian]) to those with inverted views (顛倒之見 [dian dao zhi jian]), and to bring purity (清淨 [qing jing]) to those afflicted by defilements (煩惱 [fan nao]).
The Abhidharma-samuccaya (阿毘達磨雜集論 [a pi da mo za ji lun]), Chapter 12, states: "There are four kinds of secrets. By these secrets, all the Tathagata's secrets in the Vaipulya (方廣 [fang guang]) section should be understood. What are the four? They are the Secret of Enabling Entry, the Secret of Characteristics, the Secret of Counteracting, and the Secret of Transformation. These four kinds, in the Mahayana, briefly encompass all the secret principles (秘密道理 [mi mi dao li]) taught by the Tathagata."
四種秘密—【名數】如來說法之秘密有四種：一、令入秘密，聲聞之人，執著空法謂一切之法皆空。如來為說大乘之法，破其執空之具，便生勝解，入於聖教也。二、相秘密，如來說一切之法，皆無自性，無生無滅，以破外道凡夫執著有相也。三、對治秘密，如來宣說隱密之教，皆是對彼眾生之過失而調治之。如人有病，則應病與藥，治療之使得安適也。四、轉變秘密，轉變者，轉不善為善之義，如來說一切隱密之名言，皆為使眾生之起散亂心者生寂靜，使起顛倒之見者生正見，使起煩惱者生清淨也。阿毘達磨雜集論十二曰：「有四種秘密：由此秘密故，於方廣分中一切如來所有秘密，應隨決了。何等為四？謂令入秘密，相秘密，對治秘密，轉變秘密。如是四種，於大乘中略攝如來一切所說秘密道理云云。」

Chinese Buddhism (漢傳佛教, hanchuan fojiao) is the form of Buddhism that developed in China, blending Mahayana teachings with Daoist and Confucian thought. Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan. Chinese Buddhism has greatly influenced East Asian religion and culture.
