大般涅槃經義記 4.17

4.17

From here on, the third part directly reveals the characteristics of the aforementioned elimination. "If one says that it exists, the wise should not be tainted" teaches the cutting off of the view of existence: if one hears that dharmas exist, a person of wisdom should not be tainted and attached, grasping it as definitively existing. "If one says that it does not exist, that is false speech" teaches the abandonment of the view of non-existence: if one says that all buddhas are completely non-existent, this contravenes the principle of dharmas and is therefore false speech.
