二、隨便宜者,即是為人。《論》云「於一事中,或聽、不聽」,宜即是聽,不宜者即不聽也。如金師宜數息觀,浣衣宜不淨觀,即是便宜。若說四門若事、理,便宜生善,是名為聽;若生不善,則是不聽,是名為人悉檀也。
2. Accommodating suitability: this is [the siddhānta] for the person. The Treatise states, 'In a single matter, [the Buddha] may permit it or not permit it.' What is suitable is permitted; what is unsuitable is not permitted. For example, for a goldsmith the contemplation of breath-counting is suitable, and for a washerman the contemplation of impurity is suitable; this is suitability. If one expounds the four gates, whether phenomena or principle, and suitability generates goodness, this is called being permitted; if it generates unwholesomeness, it is not permitted. This is called the siddhānta for the person.
