Approaching his parinirvāṇa, it was already within these same eight years; this is the identity of period.' The Miaoxuan states: 'The Lotus is the great king's feast, and the Nirvāṇa is clarified butter; this is the identity of flavor.' Furthermore, the Miaoxuan states: 'The intention of the teachings in both sūtras is identical from beginning to end; this is the identity of opening and revealing.' The Sijiaoyi cites the Nirvāṇa \[Sūtra\], stating: 'From the Mahāprajñā emerges the Mahāparinirvāṇa.' Therefore, the Lotus is combined \[with the Nirvāṇa\] as the fifth period. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.3.145) - [Next: 3.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.3.147) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.3.146) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.3.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.3.146) · Pramāṇa
