答:假設符經,聞而不悟,於緣非藥,則應棄之。如其釋背佛經,聞而受道,則成甘露,理應須錄。故甘毒無定,唯悟為宗。晚見《攝大乘論》與一師大致符會,菩薩於一切法,無有定教、無有定身,唯利益為定也。

Answer: Supposing [a teaching] tallies with scripture, yet one hears it and does not awaken, then for that condition it is not medicine, and one should discard it. If an explanation runs contrary to the Buddha's scriptures, yet one hears it and receives the Way, then it becomes amṛta, and in principle it should be recorded. Hence amṛta and poison are not fixed; awakening alone is taken as the essential. Later I saw that the Mahāyānasaṃgraha broadly tallies with [the view of] the single master: for a bodhisattva regarding all dharmas, there is no fixed teaching and no fixed body; benefit alone is taken as fixed.
