維摩義記 3.52

3.52

From here on, the seventh section clarifies that there is no arising. 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.
