causal teachings are explained thus: "Having fully turned the three successive Dharma Wheels of the causal teachings of the philosophical vehicles, which apply the causes for a buddhahood which is not a fruition in the present situation, [the Buddha prophesied] this: the short path of the resultant Vajra Vehicle, which applies the fruition of buddhahood in the present situation, 'will appear twenty-eight years after I have passed into nirvana'" [RY]
