- (七種語, 七种语)
Buddha's seven modes of discourse: [lang id =1028]因語 from present cause to future effect; [lang id =1028]果語 from present effect to past cause; [lang id =1028]因果語 inherent cause and effect; [lang id =1028]喻語 illustrative or figurative; [lang id =1028]不應説語 spontaneous or parabolic; [lang id =1028]世界流語 ordinary or popular; [lang id =1028]如意語 unreserved, or as he really thought, e.g. as when he said that all things have the Buddha-nature.
