Abstract
The gravitational coupling prescription is made up of two parts: a translational coupling prescription, which is universal and comes from the translational gauge invariance, and a Lorentz coupling prescription, which is non-universal and comes from the requirement of local Lorentz invariance. Together, they yield the full coupling prescription of any field to gravitation. The specific cases of General Relativity and Teleparallel Gravity are discussed, and their equivalence established.
