There are two classes of those who may not enter the Nirvana of the Tathágatas:
there are those who have abandoned the Bodhisattva ideals, saying, they are
not in conformity with the sutras, the codes of morality, nor with emancipation.
Then there are the true Bodhisattvas who, on account of their original vows
made for the sake of all beings, saying, "So long as they do not attain Nirvana, I
will not attain it for myself," voluntarily keep themselves out of Nirvana. But no
beings are left outside by the will of the Tathágatas; some day each and every
one will be influenced by the wisdom and love of the Tathágatas of
Transformation to lay up a stock of merit and ascend the stages. But, if they
only realized it, they are already in the Tathágata s Nirvana for, in Noble
Wisdom, all things are in Nirvana from the beginning.
The End
