-[[Thrangu Rinpoche|Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche]] explains: "The ''[[Ornament of Realization]]'' (''Abhisamayalamkara'') clarifies the [[Second Turning of the Wheel of Dharma]].  The next three teachings are general works given to clarify all of [[Buddha Shakyamuni]]'s teachings.  These are called the ''[[Ornament of the Sutras]]'' (''Sutralamkara''), ''[[Discerning the Middle and the Extremes]]'', and ''[[Discerning Dharmas and Dharmata]]''.  The fifth work taught by Lord [[Maitreya]] truly establishes the [[Third Turning of the Wheel of Dharma]].  It is called the ''[[Uttaratantra]]''".
