妙法蓮華經玄贊 4.154

4.154

贊曰：上顯初不同，此二頌示後令同。勸捨解脫身取佛法身，所說二乘涅槃猶如化城，是非真滅；法從無始性常寂故，即是自性清淨涅槃，性離言法非今新有，如寶所者乃是真滅。真滅既爾，故行道已來世證此法本性滅，得成佛道，我本智慧巧用方便，初開二權後示一實，總名開示三乘之法。

Eulogy: The above revealed the initial disparity; these two verses show the subsequent unification. They encourage abandoning the body of liberation to attain the Buddha's Dharma-body. The nirvāṇa of the two vehicles that was spoken of is like a conjured city; it is not true cessation. Because phenomena from beginningless time are eternally tranquil in nature, this is the naturally pure nirvāṇa; this phenomenon of ineffable nature is not newly existent now, and like the place of jewels, it is true cessation. Since true cessation is thus, after practicing the Path they will in a future life realize this primordial extinction of phenomena and attain the Buddha Path. Skillfully utilizing expedient means through my fundamental wisdom, I initially opened the two provisionals and later showed the single reality; this is collectively called disclosing and showing the Dharma of the three vehicles.
