2.348

[Kumāra]jīva says: Kāśyapa considered that extinguishing saṃsāra could serve as a field of merit; therefore, by 'not burning', [Vimalakīrti] clarified that there is nothing to be extinguished, dispelling what he held. [Seng]zhao says: Just as fire burns, so there is extinction. The Dharma-nature is constantly empty, fundamentally without arising; what is there now to extinguish? This still explains the dharmas he confronted in mind. [Dao]sheng says: Arising from other, it has no self-nature. Since it has no self-nature, how could it have other-nature? Thus, fundamentally not burning, how could there be extinction? Therefore, they are like illusions.
