'Brahma said: Due to this reason, you should know that the Buddha does not allow sentient beings to be born, die, or enter Nirvana. But in order to avoid delusions, it is the ear that distinguishes the two phases of life, death and nirvana. There is no way to transcend life and death to Nirvana. So what? All dharmas are equal, there is no coming and going, there is no birth and death, and there is no nirvana. At that time, the World-Honored One praised Siyi Brahma and said: How good, how good! When talking about the righteousness of all dharmas, it should be as you said. '
