注維摩詰經 2.236

2.236

[Kumāra]jīva says: Defilements are themselves nirvāṇa; therefore one does not wait to sever them before entering.

[Seng]zhao says: The seven latencies and nine fetters vex and confuse living beings, hence they are called defilements. The true nature of defilements is itself nirvāṇa; those whose wisdom power is strong contemplate defilements as being themselves entry into nirvāṇa, without waiting to sever them before entering.

[Dao]sheng says: Having contemplated the principle and attained the nature, one should then exhaust the bonds and enter nirvāṇa. If one insists on prizing nirvāṇa and wishing to grasp it, one is again bound by nirvāṇa. If not severing defilements is itself entering nirvāṇa, then one does not see nirvāṇa as different from defilements, and there is no bondage. In these upper and lower clauses as well, the illness lies in what follows, so it is linked by what precedes.
