8.20

若謂滅度偏,不含三德者,今作含釋,滅者即解脫,解脫必有其人,人即法身,法身不直身,必有靈智,靈智即般若。又大即法身,滅即解脫,度即般若。但標滅度,含三宛然,何得無翻耶?若執一言,則彼彼相是非,不達佛意,已如上說。

If one says that "extinction and crossing over" is biased and does not contain the three virtues, we now explain it as containing them: extinction is liberation; liberation must have its person, and that person is the dharma-kāya; the dharma-kāya is not just a body, but must possess numinous wisdom, and numinous wisdom is prajñā. Furthermore, "great" is the dharma-kāya, "extinction" is liberation, and "crossing over" is prajñā. Merely setting forth "extinction and crossing over," it contains the three manifestly; how could it be untranslatable? If one clings to a single word, then they condemn each other and fail to fathom the Buddha's intent, as has already been stated above.
