肇曰:上有方便慧解,今有慧方便解,致解雖同而行有前後。始行者自有先以方便積德然後修空慧者,亦有先修空慧而後積德者,各隨所宜其解不殊也。離煩惱,即三空自調之所能。積德向菩提,即嚴土化人之流也。前後異說,互盡其美矣。

[Seng]zhao says: "Above was 'wisdom with upāya being liberation'; here is 'upāya with wisdom being liberation'. Although the resulting liberation is identical, the sequence of practice differs. Among initial practitioners, there are those who first accumulate virtues through upāya and then cultivate the wisdom of emptiness, and there are also those who first cultivate the wisdom of emptiness and then accumulate virtues. Each according to what is suitable, their liberation is not different. Freedom from defilements is what disciplining oneself through the three emptinesses can achieve. Accumulating virtues and dedicating them toward bodhi belongs to the category of adorning lands and transforming people. The different explanations before and after exhaustively express their respective excellence."
