論大文第三、明修空慧是菩提方便，此空空於遍計所執，不如前所言非有之空也。　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？以諸菩薩下，乃至成熟佛法及諸有情兩行，明由有空慧，不著生死。　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，即不能於等，乃至不能成熟佛法、有情四行來，明若無智者，多入生死，不能成熟佛法、有情；若有慧者，不入生死，善能成熟佛法、有情。即不入生死，節異凡夫，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。

Regarding the third main section of the treatise, clarifying that cultivating the wisdom of emptiness is the expedient means for bodhi: this emptiness empties the imaginary nature; it is not like the emptiness of non-existence spoken of before. Furthermore, this line and three characters—"this very wisdom is what all bodhisattvas..."—summarily clarifies that the wisdom of cultivating emptiness is the expedient means for bodhi. Why? The two lines from "Because all bodhisattvas..." down to "bring to maturity the Buddha dharmas and all sentient beings" clarify that by possessing the wisdom of emptiness, one does not cling to saṃsāra. The line and four characters from "Furthermore, being able to truly understand saṃsāra..." to "deeply feel revulsion and detachment" clarify that within saṃsāra, one undergoes much saṃsāra to teach and transform sentient beings, and does not, through practices such as impermanence, feel revulsion and turn away from saṃsāra seeking to enter nirvāṇa; that is, one does not cling to nirvāṇa. Third, the four lines from "If bodhisattvas cannot truly understand saṃsāra, they cannot..." down to "cannot bring to maturity the Buddha dharmas and sentient beings" clarify that if one lacks wisdom, one enters deeply into saṃsāra and cannot mature the Buddha dharmas and sentient beings; if one possesses wisdom, one does not enter [into the defilements of] saṃsāra and is well able to mature the Buddha dharmas and sentient beings. Not entering saṃsāra distinguishes them from ordinary beings, for they do not, like ordinary beings, generate afflictions such as craving and enter saṃsāra; that the bodhisattva does not enter is precisely due to wisdom, constantly abiding in nirvāṇa. Fourth, the three lines and four characters from "If bodhisattvas, regarding saṃsāra, with practices of impermanence and so forth deeply feel revulsion and detachment..." down to "unsurpassed, perfect bodhi" clarify that the bodhisattva is not like the two vehicles who feel revulsion and turn away from saṃsāra to swiftly enter nirvāṇa because they lack compassion. The bodhisattva possesses compassion, teaches and transforms sentient beings, does not enter nirvāṇa, and constantly abides in saṃsāra; this explicitly distinguishes them from the two vehicles.
