5.144

答曰:別義經論,有時作此說。圓通了義之教,般若、涅槃,並通因果,故《智度論》云:「若如法觀佛,般若與涅槃,是三則一相,其實無有異。」又,涅槃三德,不縱不橫,豈得般若不至果耶!

Answer: Sūtras and treatises of differentiated meaning sometimes make this statement. In the fully penetrating and definitive teaching, both prajñā and nirvāṇa apply to cause and fruition. Therefore the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: 'If one contemplates the Buddha in accordance with the Dharma, prajñā and nirvāṇa, these three are of a single mark, and in reality are not different.' Furthermore, the three virtues of nirvāṇa are neither vertical nor horizontal; how could prajñā not reach the fruition?
