三、滅諦。滅以滅無為義。結業既盡，則無生死之患累，故名為滅。若發見思無漏真明，具三十四心斷結者，則三界九十八使皆滅。以煩惱結使滅故，三界業亦滅。若三界業、煩惱滅者，即是滅諦有餘涅槃也。因滅故果滅，捨此報身時，後世苦果永不相續，名入無餘涅槃，真滅度也。滅理不虛，故名為諦。

Third is the truth of cessation. Cessation has the meaning of extinguishing into nonexistence. When defilements and karma are exhausted, there are no burdens of birth and death; hence it is called 'cessation'. If one generates the untainted true clarity regarding [the afflictions of] views and thoughts and possesses the thirty-four minds that sever fetters, then the ninety-eight latent defilements of the three realms are all extinguished. Because the fetters and latent defilements of affliction are extinguished, karma of the three realms is also extinguished. If the karma and afflictions of the three realms are extinguished, this is the truth of cessation as nirvāṇa with remainder. Because the cause is extinguished, the fruit is extinguished; when relinquishing this retribution body, future suffering fruits will never continue, which is called entering nirvāṇa without remainder, the true cessation and liberation. The principle of cessation is not vain; hence it is called a 'truth'.
