法華義疏 7.126

7.126

二乘見有煩惱可生，故修解滅之。即是生滅斷常故為鄙賤，如除糞之人。菩薩了惑本自不生今亦無滅，名無生滅觀，故除無所除，非除糞人也。故〈方便品〉云「諸法從本來常自寂滅相」。《淨名經》云「為增上慢人說斷三毒」耳。無增上慢者，三毒即是解脫，故無所斷也。

The two vehicles see that there are afflictions that can arise, and therefore cultivate understanding to extinguish them. This is arising and perishing, annihilation and permanence, and therefore base, like a person who clears away dung. A bodhisattva completely realizes that delusion originally does not arise and now does not perish either, which is called the contemplation of non-arising and non-perishing; therefore in clearing away there is nothing to clear away, and they are not dung-clearers. Therefore the Expedient Means Chapter says: "All phenomena from their origin are constantly characterized by quiet extinction." The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Sūtra says: "It is only for persons of overweening pride that it is taught to cut off the three poisons." For those without overweening pride, the three poisons are themselves liberation, so there is nothing to cut off.
