Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

In Teaching the Relative and Ultimate Truths, the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī is summoned by Buddha Śākyamuni from a faraway buddha realm to teach in a way that demolishes all dualistic experience. As Mañjuśrī begins to teach, the main message of the sūtra unfolds as an explanation of the two truths. The general theme of Mañjuśrī's discourse is centered on the particular circumstances in Ratnaketu's buddha realm, but the message is equally applicable to the experiences of beings here in this world. (Source: 84000)

The sūtra survives in Chinese as well, notably in Kumārajīva's Qingjing pini fangguang jing 清淨毘尼方廣經 (T 1489), "Vaipulya Sūtra on the Pure Vinaya." Śāntideva cites it under this "pure Vinaya" title (Tib. 'dul ba yongs su dag pa'i mdo) in chapter 1 of the Śikṣāsamuccaya. He quotes Mañjuśrī’s teaching on the five deeds with immediate results (ānantarya), which Mañjuśrī recasts as five practices that carry a bodhisattva swiftly to awakening. Śāntideva’s version is closer to the Chinese (T 24: 1079a18–b01) than to the Tibetan (ff. 256b–257a), which suggests that the Kangyur text represents a later, expanded recension. The Tibetan is in the Sūtra section of the Kangyur (Derge vol. 60, ff. 244b–266b).
