金剛般若波羅蜜經註解 1.5

1.5

'Pāramitā' is Sanskrit, translated into Chinese as 'arrived at the other shore'. Sentient beings in the sea of birth and death have no end to it; practicing this prajñā, they reach the other shore of nirvāṇa. Because the Mahāyāna bodhisattva realizes that birth and death are themselves nirvāṇa, it is crossing over without crossing over, arriving without arriving.
