Just as Śāriputra is not a woman yet manifests a female body, all women are also like this: although they manifest female bodies, they are not women." Third, explanation. If Śāriputra himself realizes that although through spiritual powers he has transformed into a woman, his true nature is not female, he will also realize that although all women transform into women through deluded minds, their Dharma-nature is not female. Furthermore, he knows that although the goddess manifests as a woman out of great compassion, her dharmakāya is not female. If one can realize that a woman is not a woman, then all women are also like this—this is called "changing." Zhao says: "Just as Śāriputra is genuinely not a woman yet now manifests as one, this female appearance is genuinely not female. That the realms have no fixed characteristics may be known by analogy from this." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.149) - [Next: 2.151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.151) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.2.150) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.301) — Classical Chinese - [維摩詰所說經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.vimalakirtinirdesa*zh-kumarajiva.2.112) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.150](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.150) · Pramāṇa
