It also says: 'It is not because of a small nirvāṇa that it is named the Mahānirvāṇa.' The Dàzhìdù lùn says: 'The eighteen kinds of emptiness are relative emptiness; independent emptiness is non-relative emptiness.' Since there are the two emptinesses of relative and non-relative, how could there not be the two wonders of relative and non-relative? Furthermore, Kumārajīva's disciple, Daoc場 Huiguan, wrote in his 'Preface to the Lotus Sūtra': 'Designated as wonderful, its substance yet cuts off the refined and the crude; lodging in the flower to proclaim the subtle, the Way lies beyond mysterious forms. The verse says: "This Dharma cannot be shown; the characteristic of verbal expression is quiescent." This is where the two vehicles rest their thoughts and those in the stage of succession cut off all bounds.' Having completed the preface, he showed it to Kumārajīva; Kumārajīva praised it, saying: 'Good man! If one had not deeply entered the treasury of sūtras oneself, one could not speak like this.' Furthermore, the Commentary on the Lotus Sūtra says: 'Neither three nor one, exhausting all characteristics, is the wonderful; neither great nor small, pervasive of all things, is the Dharma.' Thus one knows that explaining the wonderful as transcending relativity is the old lineage of Guanhe. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.203](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.203) - [Next: 1.205](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.205) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722~en-mt.1.204) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法華義疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.3.282) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.204](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.204) · Pramāṇa
