The Buddha told Kasyapa, "It is just like when people see the moon not appear and say `The moon has disappeared! ' and think that it has disappeared. Yet, the moon's nature really has not disappeared. It cyclically appears in places in other directions, and the sentient beings there say `The moon has appeared'. Yet, the moon's nature really has not appeared. And why? It is because it is blocked from view by Mount Sumeru that it disappears.
The moon's nature of constantly arising has not appeared or disappeared. The Tathaagata, the Arhat, the one of perfect knowledge, is also again so. He appears in the trichiliocosm, or manifests in Jambudvipa having a father and mother. Sentient beings say that he is born in Jambudvipa, or in Jambuvipa he displays Nirvana. But, the nature of the Tathaagata really has no Nirvana. Yet, the sentient beings all say the Tathaagata really enters Parinirvana. ~ The Great Parinirvana Sutra
