[Treatise:] Moreover, this bodhisattva... naturally nirvāṇa.
[Exposition:] This praises their real practice. 'Once generating the aspiration, being free from cowardice,' and so forth: toward what is below, they do not fall; completely understanding the emptiness of persons and dharmas, what cowardice could there be? Advancing to accomplish real practice, they do not fall to the two vehicles. 'If hearing,' and so forth: toward what is above, they are not timid. 'Attaining nirvāṇa' means attaining buddhahood. 'Knowing through faith,' onward, generally explains the reason. Since they already know that all dharmas are originally nirvāṇa, how could they be like the two vehicles, reviling suffering and delighting in extinction?
