3.88

Because ordinary fools do not know that birth-and-death is itself nirvāṇa, they impute the cessation of future sense faculties and sense spheres and conceive it as nirvāṇa; this is not the realm realized by self-awakening. For the Tathāgata who realizes the realm of his own wisdom, it is because there is the storehouse consciousness that one falsely sees birth-and-death; by transforming the storehouse consciousness, birth-and-death is itself nirvāṇa. Therefore the sūtra states below: "The cessation of the consciousness of false discrimination is called nirvāṇa."
