9.7

「善修如是」下,觀行門也。觀諸法空,無所取著心不苟執,不逆人意不違法相,則不說小乘法答。「但以大乘答」者,若見無大機而說小,得方便益;若不見無大而說小,妨其大緣;等是不見,但說大無咎。

From "skillfully cultivating such [thoughts]" below is the approach of contemplation practice. Contemplating all phenomena as empty, free from attachment, the mind does not obstinately cling. Not opposing people's intentions and not contravening the characteristics of phenomena, one does not reply by expounding Hīnayāna dharmas. Regarding "only replying with the Mahāyāna": if one sees that there is no capacity for the great and expounds the small, one obtains the benefit of expedient means; but if one expounds the small without seeing that the capacity for the great is absent, one obstructs their conditions for the great. Since in both cases one fails to see, expounding only the great is without fault.
