8.33

The 'Treatise on the Three Destructions' says: 'The marvel of the Daoist teaching lies in subtle contemplation to attain the One, entering sagehood without death. The marvel of the Buddhist transformation lies in samādhi and dhyāna penetrations, with nothing to hope for from the unborn; they call death nirvāṇa. We have never seen anyone who studies death fail to die.'
