It has seven aspects:²⁰⁵ (i) the true reality of arising in the sense that all conditioned phenomena are without beginning and end; (ii) the true reality of defining characteristics in the sense that everything, person or phenomenon, is without a self; (iii) the true reality of representations in the sense that all conditioned phenomena are mere representations;²⁰⁶ (iv) the true reality of existence in the sense of the truth of suffering that I have taught; (v) the true reality of mistaken action²⁰⁷ in the sense of the truth of the origin of suffering that I have taught; (vi) the true reality of purification in the sense of the truth of cessation \[of suffering\] that I have taught; (vii) the true reality of correct action in the sense of the truth of the path that I have taught. “Maitreya, on account of the true reality of arising, defining characteristics, and existence, all beings are similar and equal. Maitreya, on account of the true reality of defining characteristics and representations, all phenomena are similar and equal. Maitreya, on account of the true reality of purification, the awakening of the hearers, the awakening of the solitary realizers, and the unsurpassable, complete and perfect awakening are similar and equal. Maitreya, on account of the true reality of correct action, similar and equal too are the wisdoms encompassed by the mental stillness and insight that take as a referential object a universal teaching that has been heard, contemplated, and practiced.²⁰⁸ - [Previous: 58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samdhinirmocana*bo~en-84000.58) - [Next: 60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samdhinirmocana*bo~en-84000.60) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samdhinirmocana*bo~en-mt.59) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་དགོངས་པ་ངེས་པར་འགྲེལ་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samdhinirmocana*bo.59) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samdhinirmocana*bo~en-84000.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samdhinirmocana*bo~en-84000.59) · Pramāṇa
