To the best of my knowledge, that is true, but I am always a little
hesitant to say what is not to be found in other Mahayana texts, given
that I myself have read only a very small percentage of them. In fact,
when I think of the tiny number of Mahayana sutras I have actually read,
it makes me feel a little embarrassed.
