The bodhisatva Mañjuśrī said: “O good man, all you have said is the works of the Māra and the sphere of the Māra. Why is that? Things expressed by words are a mere information (vijñapti); but the speech of the buddha (buddhaghoṣa) is beyond verbal expressions (anakṣara). Since, as many as are words, so many are the works of the Māra, when there is not any word, nothing would be done by the Māra. Since that which is without word is without information, one never perceives the self or other (na ātmaparaṃ samanupaśyati). Since there is no self or others, the dharma which causes benefit or harm does not exist. Understanding like this is transcending the sphere of the Māra, and, son of good family, this is the gate into the dharma called ‘Transcending the sphere of the Māra of the bodhisatva.’”
