What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the preceding material as a completed unit of instruction transmitted through a guru–disciple dialogue, emphasizing the authority of disciplined teaching and the structured handing down of dharma-oriented knowledge.
