According to researched fact
Tientai Teacher classify the Buddha teaching into 5 period
Agama , Vaipulya , Prajna , LotusSutra and Parinirvana
The Tripitaka is made up of several assembly
1.The Great Ratnakuta Assembly [Da bao ji jing ]
... and so on
Tientai teacher likes to use Final cheese product from a series of pre-cheese which is from milk to dough ,moist dough , moist dough to Wet cheese and finally to cheese
In effect , a milk to dough , dough is nothing different from the final cheese , in terms of essense , only the state it is in which eaten will still be the final cheese but in a different state
Sentient beings take on the acceptance of dharma in their state ,which is pretty acceptable
any question ?
