基師釋，修空慧是菩提方便，是空空於遍計所執，不如前所言非有之空也。第一又即此慧是諸菩薩等一行三字總明修空之慧是菩提方便，何以故以次下有四之中。第一諸菩薩下乃至成熟佛法及諸有情兩行，明由有空慧故不著生死。第二又能如實了知生死乃至深心厭離一行四字來，明於生死中多受生死教化眾生，不以無常等行厭背生死求入涅槃，即不著涅槃。第三若諸菩薩不能如實了知生死乃至不能成就佛法及有情四行來，明若無智者多入生死不能成就佛法有情。若有慧者不入生死善能成就佛法有情，即不入生死簡異凡夫，不同凡夫起貪等惑入生死故，菩薩不入即由智也，常處涅槃，第四若諸菩薩於其生死以無常等行深心厭離乃至正等菩提三行四字，明菩薩不如二乘厭背生死疾入涅槃，以無悲故，菩薩有悲教化眾生不入涅槃常處生死，即簡二乘也。上來一翻解說，以下第二翻解。

Master Ji explains: The wisdom cultivating emptiness is the means to bodhi; this emptiness empties the parikalpita, unlike the emptiness of non-existence spoken of earlier. First, the one line and three characters beginning with "Furthermore, this wisdom is of all bodhisattvas..." generally clarifies that the wisdom cultivating emptiness is the means to bodhi. Why? Because among the four that follow below: First, the two lines from "all bodhisattvas" down to "maturing the buddha-dharmas and all sentient beings" clarify that because of having the wisdom of emptiness, they do not cling to saṃsāra. Second, the one line and four characters from "Furthermore, they can truly understand saṃsāra" down to "deeply feel revulsion and detachment" clarifies that within saṃsāra they undergo extensive rebirths in saṃsāra to instruct and transform sentient beings, not using practices such as impermanence to turn away from saṃsāra and seek entry into nirvāṇa—that is, they do not cling to nirvāṇa. Third, the four lines from "If bodhisattvas cannot truly understand saṃsāra" down to "cannot accomplish the buddha-dharmas and sentient beings" clarifies that if one lacks wisdom, one enters extensively into saṃsāra and cannot accomplish the buddha-dharmas and sentient beings; if one possesses wisdom, one does not enter saṃsāra [in that manner] and is well able to accomplish the buddha-dharmas and sentient beings; that is, not entering saṃsāra distinguishes them from ordinary beings, because unlike ordinary beings who give rise to afflictions such as greed and enter saṃsāra, bodhisattvas do not enter it precisely through wisdom, abiding constantly in nirvāṇa. Fourth, the three lines and four characters from "If bodhisattvas deeply feel revulsion and detachment toward saṃsāra through practices such as impermanence" down to "correct and equal bodhi" clarifies that bodhisattvas are not like the two vehicles who turn away from saṃsāra to swiftly enter nirvāṇa because of lacking compassion; bodhisattvas possess compassion to instruct and transform sentient beings, not entering nirvāṇa and constantly abiding in saṃsāra, which distinguishes them from the two vehicles. The above is one turn of explanation; below is the second turn of explanation.
