大般涅槃經集解 46.130

Sengliang notes: Answering the fifth objection. Baoliang says: Although the single fifth objection cited three metaphors, this single reply now explains them comprehensively. Like those worldly people: if they are respectful and cautious, they are always safe; but if their conduct deviates, they fall into the net. Yet parents originally and inherently exist; it is only that sentient beings are inverted in saṃsāra—how could nirvāṇa only newly exist?
