[Seng]zhao says: Extinction and exhaustion have the same meaning. Having already spoken of 'fundamentally and entirely extinguished', why then speak of 'no exhaustion'? Extinction arises from non-extinction; when it is fundamentally and always extinguished, there is nothing that is not extinguished; when there is nothing that is not extinguished, then extinction has nothing to extinguish; extinction having nothing to extinguish is precisely the meaning of inexhaustibility.
