佛遺教經論疏節要 1.498

1.498

〔補註〕是知佛以中為命，中存佛存、中滅佛滅。安住中道，即是十方常住佛也。

[Supplementary note:] From this we know that the Buddha takes the middle as his life: when the middle exists, the Buddha exists; when the middle is extinguished, the Buddha is extinguished. Dwelling peacefully in the middle way is precisely the eternally abiding Buddha of the ten directions.
