1.28

"Not clinging to saṃsāra and not departing from bodhi": not departing from bodhi has the meaning of not dwelling in nirvāṇa. If one dwells in nirvāṇa, one departs from bodhi. Therefore, the passage explaining remainderless nirvāṇa in the Cheng weishi lun states that, free from marks, serene, extinguished, and blissful, it is said based on this not to differ from the Buddha; yet because it lacks the bodhi function of benefiting and bringing joy to others, it is further said to differ from the Buddha.
