3.4
釋品名者,利樂儀軌曰方,應時而濟曰便,順理益生為善,智用殊妙為巧。然有方便,下位可知;今顯非彼言境,超下位之情,說名不思議。今明此事,故復名顯,其不思議方便乃為所顯、教為能顯。舊經文闕,如初已陳。
Regarding the explanation of the chapter title: the norms and rites of benefiting and gladdening are called *fāng* (method); rescuing in response to the moment is called *biàn* (expedience). Conforming to principle and profiting living beings is *shàn* (skillful); the wondrous and extraordinary functioning of wisdom is *qiǎo* (cunning). However, there are skillful means that can be known at lower stages; now, revealing what is not an object of their speech, surpassing the sentiments of lower stages, it is named "inconceivable." Now, clarifying this matter, it is therefore also named "revealing": the inconceivable skillful means are that which is revealed, and the teaching is that which reveals. The older translation lacked these words, as was already stated at the beginning.
