涅槃經云 見性成佛道(除見性外更有法門出三界得成佛者無有是處)假戒(因犯禁戒制戒是。此戒是方便戒。是不了教。只許五歲學五歲若不捨是真外道。是具足邪見人)佛藏經云 佛告舍利弗。我說教者不說受者。舍利弗。於我法中多有如是增上慢教。舍利弗。若受教者受戒五歲不能悉捨。如是所教於是教中懃心精進自有得。無有比丘不往諮問。我說此人雖有五歲猶名邪見。雜外道法順行魔教。舍利弗。若有比丘受是教已聞空無所得法。即自覺知。我先受者皆是邪見。於空無所得法無悔。深入通達不依一切我見人見。舍利弗。我說此人名為清淨梵行。

The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: "Seeing the nature achieves the Buddha Path." (Except for seeing the nature, that there should be any other dharma gate to transcend the three realms and achieve buddhahood is impossible.) Conventional precepts: (Those instituted on account of transgressing the prohibitive precepts are these. These precepts are expedient precepts; they are teachings of incomplete meaning. One is permitted only five years to study them; if after five years one does not renounce them, one is truly a tīrthika, a person fully endowed with wrong views.) The Buddhapiṭaka-sūtra says: "The Buddha addressed Śāriputra: 'I speak of those who give teaching, not those who receive it. Śāriputra, in my Dharma there are many such teachings of overweening pride. Śāriputra, if those who receive instruction have received the precepts for five years and cannot renounce all of what has been so taught, yet in this teaching are diligent, energetic, and hold that they have attainments, so that there are no monks who do not go to consult them—I say that this person, though having had [the precepts for] five years, is still named one of wrong views, mixing with tīrthika dharmas and following Māra's teachings. Śāriputra, if there is a monk who, after receiving this teaching, hears the Dharma of emptiness and unfindability, and immediately realizes for himself: "What I previously received was all wrong views," having no regrets regarding the Dharma of emptiness and unfindability, deeply entering and penetrating it without relying on any view of a self or view of a person—Śāriputra, I call this person one of pure brahma-practice.'"
