大般涅槃經集解 2.43

2.43

Sengzong states: The Tathāgata's path covers the great chiliocosm, and his virtue shelters the three realms; now that he enters nirvāṇa, the world is empty. That "blessings are exhausted" means that blessings invoke the sage; since the sage no longer responds, they know [blessings] are exhausted. That "unwholesome things increase" means that, blessings having been exhausted, evil therefore grows.
