三、未安者令安。此弘誓緣道諦而起,故《纓絡經》云:「未安道諦,令安道諦。」今明即是能通涅槃之正助道也。有二種正助道:一、偏緣真諦修正助道,此道但得至小乘盡苦涅槃;二、正緣中道實相修正助道,此道能到大乘大般涅槃。若一切未安此二種道者,菩薩發心,願令得安,故云未安道者令安也。

Third, to put at ease those who are not at ease. This universal vow arises with the truth of the path as its condition; hence the Yingluo jing says: "Those who are not at ease in the truth of the path are caused to be at ease in the truth of the path." Now, explaining this, it is precisely the primary and auxiliary paths that lead to nirvāṇa. There are two kinds of primary and auxiliary paths: first, cultivating primary and auxiliary paths by focusing exclusively on the truth of emptiness; this path only leads to the small vehicle's nirvāṇa of exhausting suffering. Second, cultivating primary and auxiliary paths by directly taking the real mark of the middle path as condition; this path is able to reach the great vehicle's great parinirvāṇa. If there are any who are not at ease in these two kinds of paths, the bodhisattva resolves and vows to cause them to be at ease; hence it is said, "to put at ease those who are not at ease in the path."
