3.160

善士利行，略有五種：於真實義勸導有情、於應時宜勸導、於攝妙義勸導、於諸有情柔濡勸導、於諸有情慈心勸導。

The beneficial action of a good person is, in brief, of five types: exhorting sentient beings toward the true meaning; exhorting in accordance with the right timing; exhorting toward grasping the wondrous meaning; exhorting sentient beings gently; and exhorting sentient beings with a mind of loving-kindness.
