釋迦譜 5.35

5.35

Sengyou determines: Taking the vaipulya [teachings], one firmly knows that the Three Jewels are eternally abiding. The principle of an eternally abiding Dharma admits of neither flourishing nor extinction. The coming of flourishing and extinction is merely due to worldly conditions and karma. That the morning sun sinks into the west does not impair the constant brightness of its thousand rays.
