第三、釋別教名者，「別」者，不共之名也。此教不共二乘人說，但教菩薩，故名別教。此教正明因緣假名、無量四聖諦理。的化菩薩，不涉二乘。所言別者，義乃多塗，略出八意：一，教別；二，理別；三，智別；四，斷別；五，行別；六，位別；七，因別；八，果別。故名別教。

Third, explaining the name "distinctive teaching": "distinctive" is a designation for what is not shared. This teaching is not spoken in common with persons of the two vehicles, but teaches only bodhisattvas, and is therefore called the "distinctive teaching." This teaching explicitly clarifies the provisional designations of causes and conditions and the principle of the immeasurable four noble truths. It definitively transforms bodhisattvas and does not involve the two vehicles. That which is called "distinctive" has many aspects in its meaning, but eight senses are briefly set forth: 1. distinctive teaching; 2. distinctive principle; 3. distinctive wisdom; 4. distinctive severance; 5. distinctive practice; 6. distinctive stages; 7. distinctive cause; 8. distinctive fruit. Hence it is called the distinctive teaching.
