The publication presents a translation of the canonical sutra ārya-samādhi-cakra-nāmamahāyāna-sūtra (’phags pa ting nge ’dzin gyi ’khor lo zhes bya ba theg pa chen po’i mdo), Degé Kangyur, vol. 65 (mdo sde, zha), f. 302.a–303.a, Toh 241. In the sutra, in a dialogue between the Buddha, who is in samadhi called the «wheel of samadhi» and the bodhisattva Manjushri, questions about the highest reality are considered in the terminology of the sphere of phenomena (Skt. dharmadhātu, Tib. chos kyi dbyings) and very limit of reality (Skt. bhūtakoṭi, Tib. yang dag pa’i mtha’).
