釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 9.83

9.83

答曰：如前一法三說，無常即苦，苦即無我，此想亦如是。斷想，有餘涅槃；盡想，無餘涅槃；離想，二涅槃方便門。當知壞法人成就十想即成阿羅漢，具足二種涅槃，故說九想、十想為壞法道也。十想義種種分別，具如《摩訶衍》中廣說。

Answer: Just as the single dharma mentioned earlier was spoken of threefold—impermanence is suffering, and suffering is non-self—these notions are also like this. The notion of severance corresponds to nirvāṇa with remainder; the notion of cessation corresponds to nirvāṇa without remainder; the notion of dispassion is the expedient gate for both nirvāṇas. One should know that when a person [practicing the path of] destroying phenomena accomplishes the ten notions, they become an arhat, fully endowed with the two kinds of nirvāṇa; therefore, the nine notions and ten notions are spoken of as the path of destroying phenomena. The various distinctions in the meaning of the ten notions are fully explained in the Mahāyāna [treatise].
