注維摩詰經 9.300

9.300

肇曰：觀於寂滅，觀即寂滅。滅而不滅，豈可形名？生曰：既云化眾生，復似見有眾生，故言觀寂滅也。觀寂滅者，非永滅之謂也。

[Seng]zhao says: Contemplating quiescent extinction, contemplation is itself quiescent extinction. Extinguished yet not extinguished, how could it be given form or name? [Dao]sheng says: Having said that it transforms sentient beings, it might seem again as if it sees sentient beings as existing; hence it says 'contemplating quiescent extinction'. 'Contemplating quiescent extinction' does not mean eternal extinction.
