大般涅槃經集解 32.50

Daosheng notes: "With regard to the preceding explanation being unclear, it seemed as if the truth of reality were entirely distinct from the four truths; therefore he asks again." Sengliang notes: "He asks about the one truth that subsumes the above six truths, which is called the truth of reality. Because previously the two vehicles were said to have the truths of suffering and origination but not reality, it seemed as though the two vehicles were not subsumed by the truth of reality; hence this is clarified." Fayao notes: "Previously it was said that the truth of reality of the two vehicles is possessed by bodhisattvas; now he asks about the principle by which bodhisattvas attain the truth of reality." Sengzong notes: "This is the third [section] illuminating the sphere of wisdom: distinguishing the truth of reality. Above, harmonizing the four truths, it was said that the śrāvakas have suffering and the truth of suffering but lack reality, while bodhisattvas understand suffering, are free from suffering, and possess reality. If one understands the principle and possesses reality, is there still some further object that is their known sphere? Therefore this question was posed."
