In the sūtras it is clearly stated that Mañjuśrī is a bodhisattva who dwells permanently in the Sahā world. The Sahā is the general designation for the trichiliocosm; why would he dwell specifically in this realm?" He answered, "Mañjuśrī is the foremost master among all Buddhas; following conditions to benefit and manifest, his responsive transformations are not identical. The great deeds of a great being are not the realm of ordinary humans; you need not debate or appraise them. One need only have reverent faith that he mostly resides among the Five Terraces of Mount Qingliang. It currently belongs to northern Daizhou; to the west there are now Wutai County and Qingliang Prefecture." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 14.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.48) - [Next: 14.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.50) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.14.49) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [律相感通傳](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1898.1.43) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.49) · Pramāṇa
