The Blessed One asked, “Mañjuśrī, do you know the world that is experienced?” “Blessed One, the world is merely that which is experienced by people who are illusory apparitions.¹⁶ Blessed One, that which is called ‘the world’ is essentially a nonexistent thing.” The Blessed One said, “The Tathāgata wishes to hear the Dharma. Demonstrate your inspired speech!” Mañjuśrī asked, “With what should I begin to demonstrate my inspired speech?” “Begin with the sphere of phenomena, Mañjuśrī,” replied the Blessed One. “Blessed One, I do not see any phenomenon that is not the sphere of phenomena.”¹⁷ “Those who have unfounded pride will be afraid,” said the Blessed One. “Blessed One,” replied Mañjuśrī, “if the very limit of reality is afraid, then those who have unfounded pride will be afraid. Why? Because the very limit of reality and those who have unfounded pride are one and the same, and indistinguishable.” “Mañjuśrī,” said the Blessed One, “you are a vajra basis.” “Blessed One,” said Mañjuśrī, “since all phenomena are indivisible and inconceivable, they too are vajra bases. Why are they said to be vajra bases? Because sentient beings do not exist and things do not exist, they too are vajra bases.¹⁸ “Blessed One, such a very limit of reality does not exist. Whatever is such a limit neither comes nor goes. Blessed One, dwelling on the meaning of having such a limit, one meditates on the meaning of the absence of an intrinsic nature, keeps to remote places, and abandons distractions.” - [Previous: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhicakra*bo~en-84000.1) - [Next: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhicakra*bo~en-84000.3) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ཏིང་ངེ་འཛིན་གྱི་འཁོར་ལོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhicakra*bo.2) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhicakra*bo~en-84000.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhicakra*bo~en-84000.2) · Pramāṇa
