Now this Dhyāna Sūtra was spoken by the Buddha himself. Question: 'Where did the Buddha speak it? For whom did he speak it?' Answer: 'The Buddha spoke it in the royal palace for Vaidehī and others.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.1.10) - [Next: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.1.12) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753~en-mt.1.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.1.11) · Pramāṇa
