「現於至生死」,七、明現二種涅槃非道通達佛道。上明二乘有為功德,今明二乘無為功德,皆是非道。又上但說二乘,今兼三乘入二涅槃,皆非佛道。除圓妙覺示現,其餘皆有無為緣集三道非道。若應以三乘滅度而得度者,即現三乘。「而不斷生死」者,菩薩大悲處於生死,通達生死非道即是佛道,豈可斷也。

From "manifesting in" to "birth-and-death," seventh, this explains manifesting the non-path of the two kinds of nirvāṇa to reach the Buddha Path. Above, the conditioned merits of the two vehicles were explained; now, the unconditioned merits of the two vehicles are explained—both are non-paths. Furthermore, above only the two vehicles were discussed; now the three vehicles entering the two nirvāṇas are included as well—all are not the Buddha Path. Apart from the manifestations of perfect, wondrous awakening, all the rest have the non-path of the three paths accumulated through unconditioned conditioning. If there are those who should be liberated by the extinction of the three vehicles, one manifests the three vehicles. As for "and not severing birth-and-death": the bodhisattva abides in birth-and-death out of great compassion, thoroughly realizing that the non-path of birth-and-death is itself the Buddha Path—how could it be severed?
