大般涅槃經集解 46.1

46.1

Vaiḍūryaprabha discusses with the Buddha the meaning of arising and non-arising; distinguishes the meaning of the permanence and impermanence of the four characteristics; sets forth the meaning of being reborn in the Land of Immobility; distinguishes that nirvāṇa is fundamentally existent, citing analogies of the well in darkness, the seven treasures, and so forth; clarifies the meaning of the five kinds of causes, namely: generative cause, harmonious union cause, staying cause, increase cause, and distant cause; distinguishes whether the six pāramitās obtain the name of pāramitā or do not obtain it.
