華嚴略疏卷第三 3.5

3.5

從能到訖向涅槃門。是第三周明自行外化也。菩薩智惠方便彼圻者。緣真為實惠。取俗為方便。一說智緣空有如空而知名為實惠。知而不著名為方便。此二惠是正覺之父母。眾行之剛要照得其性故到彼圻。能令眾生背生死向涅槃者。外化也。生死至苦涅槃至樂。令眾生背苦至樂者。化之動道之與門皆謂能通也。

From 'able to reach' up to 'toward the gate of nirvāṇa' is the third round, clarifying self-practice and external transformation. 'Bodhisattvas' wisdom and expedients [reaching] the other shore': taking true reality as the object is real wisdom; adopting the conventional is expedient means. One explanation says: wisdom taking emptiness and existence as its object, knowing them to be like emptiness, is called real wisdom; knowing without attaching is called expedient means. These two wisdoms are the parents of correct awakening and the essential framework of the myriad practices; by illuminating and attaining their nature, one reaches the other shore. 'Able to cause sentient beings to turn away from birth-and-death and proceed toward nirvāṇa': this is external transformation. Birth-and-death is ultimate suffering; nirvāṇa is ultimate bliss. Causing sentient beings to turn away from suffering and reach bliss is the movement of transformation; both 'path' and 'gate' signify being able to lead through.
