First, Śāriputra asks: 'When you pass away from here, where will you be born?' The goddess answers analogously: 'As an illusory creation of the Buddha is born, so I am born.' For the Tathāgata's transformation body, arising is non-arising and passing away is non-passing away; hence she uses it to compare with herself. Śāriputra next acknowledges: 'An illusory creation of the Buddha has neither passing away nor arising.' 'Passing away' is like 'perishing'. Next, 'the goddess' again takes what he said to analogously reveal everything: like the Buddha's illusory creations, arising is non-arising and passing away is non-passing away. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.51) - [Next: 3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.53) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776~en-mt.3.52) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩經略疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.8.86) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.52) · Pramāṇa
