 | | The Buddha states in the "Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra" (Tibetan version): "Nirvana is deathless... | | | Both in early Buddhism and by the time of Nāgārjuna, there are teachings of the identity of nirvana and samsara. | | | Elsewhere the Buddha calls nirvana 'the unconditioned element' (i.e., that which is not subject to causation). |

| | The Nirvana Sutra is an enormously important scripture, not least because of its influence on Zen Buddhism. | | | Nirvana Sutra or Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra (Chinese: Niepan Jing (涅槃經); Japanese: Nehangyō (涅槃経)) is one of the major texts of Mahāyāna Buddhism. | | | The highest form of Nirvana — Mahaparinirvana — is also discussed in very positive and affirmative terms in the Nirvana Sutra. |

| | Nirvana Sutra :: Appreciation of the "Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra" |
| | As the Buddha says in the Dharmakshema version of the Nirvana Sutra, “the being is the Buddha-dhatu and the Buddha-dhatu is the being”. | | | In fact, the Nirvana Sutra is stated by the Buddha to be the unique culmination of all his teachings. | | | In the Nirvana Sutra, the Buddha upholds his earlier teaching that what the ordinary person regards as his or her "self" is in fact "not the Self" (anatman). |

| | In the fourth category, the sutras are named after the person(s) seeking Dharma from the Buddha, i.e., the Sutra of Prajna for the Benevolent King spoken by the Buddha. | | | Consider, for instance, the title Buddhavatamsaka Mahavaipulya Sutra: The Buddha is the teacher, Mahavaipulya is the Dharma and Avatamsaka is the analog. | | | The fifth phase relates to the Saddharma Pundarika and to the Nirvana Sutras. |

| | Letter from Teradomari |
| | This passage from the Nirvana Sutra recounts the evil words which the various Brahman believers spoke against Shakyamuni Buddha because he refuted the scriptures preached by their original teachers, the two deities and the three ascetics. | | | The Lotus Sutra invariably concludes the Dharma preaching of all Buddhas of the three existences. | | | The Nirvana Sutra's perfect teaching of the eternally inherent Buddha nature in fact belongs to the Lotus Sutra. |

| | The Wonderful Law of the Lotus Sutra |
| | It is clear especially in the 14th chapter that the main thrust of the Lotus Sutra is for the elite of highly-attained bodhisattvas in the closing Dharma-age (Mappo), to clarify their practice and to demonstrate the unity of the Buddha Dharma behind the facade of seemingly infinite diversity of 'practices' (upaya). | | | What is striking to many about the Lotus Sutra is the radical emphasis on devotion and faith, noting that the path to buddhahood is not restricted to those who practiced monastic auterities but to those who worship the buddha (or buddhas) in a number of ways. | | | In the Lotus Sutra's 23rd Chapter on the Deed of the Medicine-King Bodhisattva, the Pure Land of Amida Buddha is described as the next birth for women and men who joyfully accept the accounting of that bodhisattva in the 23rd chapter. |

| | Repaying Debts of Gratitude |
| | Nevertheless, the Lotus Sutra was preached by Shakyamuni Buddha and thus represents merely the truth as spoken by a commoner, whereas the Dainichi Sutra represents the truth as spoken by the Son of Heaven. | | | Though this scripture, the Lotus Sutra, was preached by a single Buddha, Shakyamuni, all the bodhisattvas from the stage of togaku on down should honor it and have faith in it. | | | In this commentary he stated, "This sutra is not truly eminent," and spoke of it as "an unusual expedient." By this he meant that the Lotus Sutra does not fully reveal the truth of Buddhism. |

| | Only the Lotus Sutra and the Nirvana Sutra teach the Enlightenment of the shomon and the engaku. | | | The Lotus Sutra is the treasury of the hidden core of all Buddhas. | | | The Lotus Sutra is the most excellent teaching compared to the other Buddhist scriptures because the Buddha gave certification to attain Buddhahood toward shomon and engaku, who had not been allowed to do so in other sutras. |

| | As a matter of fact, the Nirvana School is considered a forerunner of the T'ien-t'ai School, as it became absorbed into the latter. | | | The study and exegesis of the Nirvana Sutra continued during the fourth century and into the beginning of the fifth, largely due to Tao-sheng's study of the text and the contraversy over the related theory of Buddha-nature he initiated. | | | Tao-sheng was placed at the top of the list of exegetes of the Nirvana Sutra and expounders of the theory of the Buddha-nature; he was first not just chronologically but also as the initiator of the tradition. |
