復次,菩薩觀息性空時,不得四諦而亦通達四諦。所以者何?如上所說世間果者,即是苦諦;世間因者,即是集諦;出世間果者,即是滅諦;出世間因者,即是道諦。故觀於息相,不見四諦而能了了分別四諦,為聲聞眾生廣演分別。

Furthermore, when the bodhisattva contemplates the emptiness of the nature of breath, they do not apprehend the four truths, yet they also thoroughly penetrate the four truths. Why is this? As explained above, the mundane fruit is the truth of suffering; the mundane cause is the truth of the origin [of suffering]; the supramundane fruit is the truth of cessation; the supramundane cause is the truth of the path. Therefore, contemplating the characteristics of the breath, they do not see the four truths, yet are able to clearly distinguish the four truths, broadly expounding and distinguishing them for the sake of śrāvaka sentient beings.
