5.102

答曰:若思議有餘解脫,證真入滅受想定,似涅槃法,著身中證想受滅,猶如死人,無所能用。若人無餘解脫,灰身滅智,猶如虛空,無所施為。若生、法二身,住不思議解脫,能種種變現,如此經〈不思議品〉具明,故淨名訶身子言「不起滅定,而現諸威儀,是為宴坐」也。

Answer: If it is conceivable liberation with remainder, one realizes reality and enters the cessation of perception and feeling (saṃjñā-vedayita-nirodha), resembling the dharma of nirvāṇa; abiding within the body, one realizes the cessation of perception and feeling, just like a corpse, incapable of any function. If one enters liberation without remainder, ash-like body and extinguished consciousness, just like empty space, there is nothing one can enact. If the two bodies—the physical body and dharma-body—abide in inconceivable liberation, they can display all manner of transformations, as fully explained in this sūtra's chapter 'Inconceivable'; thus Vimalakīrti rebuked Śāriputra, saying, 'Without arising from the cessation trance, yet manifesting all deportments—this is quiet sitting.'
