依據佛教的看法, 真正寂滅的狀態, 是所有佛教徒修行所尋求的皈依. 人們皈依佛陀的理由, 並非因為佛陀從初始就是一個特別的人, 而是由於佛陀了悟真正寂滅的狀態.
The state of true cessation is, according to Buddhism, the refuge that all practicing Buddhists seek. The reason one seeks refuge in the Buddha, is not because Buddha was from the beginning a special person, but because Buddha realized the state of true cessation.
