The fame of Garab Dorje as a proponent of a new system transcending cause and effect (i.e., the causal vehicles) reached Nalanda, and the panditas were outraged. They would not permit such a heretic to misguide people and sent a delegation to refute Garab Dorje, who lived in the kingdom of Uddiya to the northwest of Bodhgaya. Manjushrimitra confronted Garab Dorje and tried to defeat him in debate but failed. Now, with trust in the teachings beyond effort, cause, and effect, Manjushrimitra felt strong remorse at having tried to defeat the Great Perfection and wanted to cut off his own tongue in order to prevent further misdeeds. Garab Dorje read his mind and said, "You can purify your obscuration if you cause the correct Dzogchen teachings to flourish in this world, but not by cutting off your tongue even a thousand times." Manjushrimitra then composed the treatise known as ''Gomnyam Drukpa'', "Six Experiences of Meditation," and upheld the system of the Great Perfection. Later, his level of realization became equal to that of Garab Dorje. +
