How is this known? Since this sūtra explains that the Buddha is impermanent and ultimately enters \[nirvāṇa\] without remainder, it is identical to the lesser vehicle. Furthermore, the first chapter states, "The Buddha this night attains extinction, like fire extinguished when fuel is exhausted"; thus we know it is not different from the lesser vehicle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.72) - [Next: 2.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.74) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.2.73) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.2.73) · Pramāṇa
