坐禪三昧經 2.26

2.26

入涅槃時一切滅盡，非色、無色界及世界始世界始，（外道謂一切有法之初，色為世界始，外道謂涅槃也。以此有始，能化作萬物，即名造化也）等種種妄語，能滅此苦。正見等八直是涅槃道，非餘外道苦行，種種空持戒、空禪定、空智慧。何以故？佛法中戒、定、慧三法合行能入涅槃，譬如人立平地，持好弓箭，能射殺怨賊，三法合行亦如是！戒為平地，禪定為快弓，智慧為利箭，三事備足，能殺煩惱賊，以是故外道輩不得涅槃。

When one enters nirvāṇa, everything is completely extinguished; it is not that the form realm, formless realm, or the beginning of the world (heretics regard the beginning of all existing dharmas, form, as the beginning of the world, which heretics call nirvāṇa; because of this having a beginning, it can transform and create the myriad things, which is termed 'Creation'), and such various false statements can extinguish this suffering. The eightfold [path] of right view and so forth is directly the path to nirvāṇa, not the austerities of other heretics, their various futile holding of precepts, futile dhyāna, and futile wisdom. Why? In the Buddhadharma, the three dharmas of precepts, samādhi, and wisdom practiced in unison enable one to enter nirvāṇa. For example, a person standing on level ground, holding a fine bow and arrow, can shoot and kill hostile bandits; the three dharmas practiced in unison are also like this! Precepts are the level ground, dhyāna is the swift bow, and wisdom is the sharp arrow. With these three things fully prepared, one can kill the bandits of kleśas. For this reason, the crowd of heretics does not attain nirvāṇa.
