Persons of the two vehicles themselves consider their nirvāṇa to be permanent, and therefore it has bliss and purity; and although they lack a personal self, they have a dharma self, and thus also have the inversion of self. Therefore, we know that the initial sūtra completely refutes the four inversions such as permanence. The latter portion of the sūtra completely refutes the two vehicles' view that the Buddha is impermanent, suffering, empty, non-self, and impure, likewise completely refuting the four inversions. Since this sūtra from beginning to end completely refutes the eight inversions, it has fully expounded nirvāṇa, and all who ought to awaken will attain the Way. That the Buddha Dīpaṅkara did not need to preach the Nirvāṇa Sūtra was precisely with this intention. It was only because those of dull faculties had not awakened that Śākyamuni expounded the Lotus Sūtra more broadly, and later taught the Nirvāṇa teaching for them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.80) - [Next: 3.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.82) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.3.81) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.81) · Pramāṇa
