三、明別教興癈者，興則機興、教興。無量四諦樂欲將起，從空入假善根可生，無量恒沙煩惱、別惑見思可治，中道第一義諦真解可發，故用四悉檀，說無量四諦，赴別教菩薩。聞則樂欲心起，生界外之善，斷界外之惡，發中道相似無漏，及真無漏，求常住佛果大涅槃。為赴此之機緣，雖無別教斷十品無明，法身補處菩薩斷十一品無明，究竟佛果，而示現此教形聲，用悉檀赴物機緣，說無量四聖諦，故名別教興。癈者，四機既息，緣謝則癈，所說別教、能說別教所明上地補處菩薩、佛果俱癈也。

> Third, regarding clarifying the arising and discarding of the distinctive teaching: arising means both faculties arise and the teaching arises. The longing for the immeasurable Four Truths is about to arise, the root of good of entering the provisional from emptiness can be produced, the immeasurable defilements like sands of the Ganges and the distinctive delusions of views and desires can be cured, and the true understanding of the Middle Way paramārtha-satya can be activated; therefore one uses the four siddhāntas to preach the immeasurable Four Truths to match the bodhisattvas of the distinctive teaching. Hearing it, the mind of longing arises, producing good beyond the realms, severing evil beyond the realms, activating the Middle Way's resemblance untainted \[wisdom\] and true untainted \[wisdom\], and seeking the permanent Buddha fruit of great nirvāṇa. In order to respond to these faculties and conditions, although there is no actual bodhisattva of succession to the Dharmakāya who severs ten grades of ignorance or an ultimate Buddha fruit that severs eleven grades of ignorance in the distinctive teaching, they manifest the form and voice of this teaching, using the siddhāntas to match the faculties and conditions of beings and preach the immeasurable four noble truths; hence it is named the arising of the distinctive teaching. As for "discarding": once the four faculties have rested and the conditions cease, it is discarded; both the distinctive teaching that is preached and the bodhisattva of succession on the higher grounds and Buddha fruit explained by the preacher of the distinctive teaching are discarded.
