| In this [[sutra]], '''Unravelling the Intent''' (Skt. ''Saṃdhinirmocana''; Tib. དགོངས་པ་ངེས་འགྲེལ།, [[Wyl.]] ''dgongs pa nges ‘grel'') the [[Shakyamuni Buddha|Buddha]] gives a systematic overview of his three great cycles of teachings, which he refers to in this text as the “[[Three turnings|three Dharma wheels]]”. In the process of delineating the meaning of these doctrines, the Buddha unravels several difficult points regarding the [[Absolute truth|ultimate]] and [[relative truth]]s, the nature of reality, and the contemplative methods conducive to the attainment of complete and perfect [[Enlightenment|awakening]], and he also explains what his intent was when he imparted teachings belonging to each of the three Dharma wheels. In unambiguous terms, the third wheel is proclaimed to be of definitive meaning. Through a series of dialogues with [[Shravaka|hearers]] and [[bodhisattva]]s, the Buddha thus offers a complete and systematic teaching on the [[Mahayana|Vehicle]], which he refers to here as the Single Vehicle. <ref>84000 Translating the Words of the Buddha.</ref>
