肇論新疏 3.420

3.420

本經二十二云：「如來非眾生、非非眾生，以如來即涅槃故。」可義引也。二十九云：「眾生、佛性，不一不二」等。次引《淨名》，即初卷〈菩薩品〉，文亦少別。彼云：「諸佛知一切眾生畢竟寂滅，即涅槃相」等。

Our scripture in chapter twenty-two says: "The Tathāgata is neither a sentient being nor not a sentient being, because the Tathāgata is identical to nirvāṇa." This can be cited for its meaning. Chapter twenty-nine says: "Sentient beings and Buddha-nature are neither one nor two," and so forth. Next it cites the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa, which is from the first fascicle, "Chapter on the Bodhisattvas," where the phrasing is also slightly different. There it says: "All Buddhas know that all sentient beings are ultimately quiescent and extinct, which is the mark of nirvāṇa," and so forth.
