Why is it not discussed? Explanation: For the sake of transforming \[beings\], the ultimate limit lies in speech and silence; beyond speech and silence, nothing further can be stated. A place that cannot be stated has never been elucidated from the beginning—how could it be only now? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.1.93) - [Next: 1.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.1.95) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851~en-mt.1.94) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.82) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.1.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.1.94) · Pramāṇa
