菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 1.44

1.44

The Buddha again told Maitreya: "Is there one who treads the path or one who does not tread the path? Is there fruition and realization or no fruition and realization? Is it of conditioned nature or of non-conditioned nature? Is it an unconditioned nature within the conditioned? Is it an unconditioned nature within the unconditioned? Is it an outflow-free nature within outflows? Is it an outflow-free nature within the outflow-free? Is it an exhaustible nature within the desire realm? Is it an inexhaustible nature within the desire realm? Is it an exhaustible nature within the form and formless realms? Is it an inexhaustible nature within the form and formless realms? Is it a nature of space that ceases consciousness? Is it a nature of space that does not cease consciousness? Up to the emptiness of the conditioned, the emptiness of the unconditioned, the emptiness of intrinsic nature, the emptiness of existence through conditioned existence, the emptiness of nonexistence through unconditioned nonexistence, great emptiness, the emptiness of grasping, the emptiness of the single characteristic and non-characteristic, the emptiness of nirvāṇa with remainder, and the emptiness of nirvāṇa without remainder—is it a treading nature, or is it a non-treading nature?"
