法華玄論 2.62

2.62

Answer: The Hīnayāna does not know that defilements and the body are fundamentally unarisen and now also without extinction; hence they see defilements arise and now wish to extinguish them. This is the contemplation of arising and extinction, and is therefore called lesser. Mahāyāna practitioners know that defilements are fundamentally unarisen and now also without extinction; because it is the contemplation of non-arising and non-extinction, it is called the great nirvāṇa.
