4.16

I comment: Śāriputra, unable to bear seeing the Buddha's nirvāṇa, entered extinction beforehand; yet the Nirvāṇa Commentary cites the Great Sutra saying that Śāriputra, seeing the Buddha's nirvāṇa, was not sorrowful, and seeing his permanent abiding, was not joyful. From this we know that the doctrine of opening and revealing is not the same as texts attached to the Hīnayāna.
