Summary:  the Buddha taught the same fundamental truth of the cessation of suffering, his teachings were interpreted differently by his disciples based on their varied dispositions. This led to a bewildering diversity in the understanding of his teachings. However, the principle of 'skilfulness in method' of the Buddha is said to underlie this distinction, allowing for discrepancies to be explained within his teachings. Despite the divergent interpretations, the core message of the Buddha regarding the cessation of suffering remained consistent throughout his teachings. This highlights the complexity and depth of Buddha's teachings, requiring patient and careful study to unravel the underlying truth in diverse interpretations.
