Answer: Conceding this is also without fault, because the Buddha has sovereignty. One moment is made into many kalpas, and many kalpas are subsumed into one moment; scriptures providing reliable evidence of this kind are not merely one. Objection: The buddhas have obtained sovereignty: one moment subsumes many moments; the buddhas have obtained sovereignty: one kalpa becomes many kalpas. If so, there should be no difference in the time of the three kalpas, which then contradicts the sacred teachings that a bodhisattva must pass through three incalculable kalpas of diligent cultivation before realizing bodhi. Answer: This objection is incorrect; it is not the realm of ordinary beings and the like. Both the Prakaraṇāryavācā and the Yogācārabhūmi present this explanation. One who forcefully cogitates on the inconceivable will obtain a crude retribution of delusion. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.118) - [Next: 3.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.120) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.3.119) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.119) · Pramāṇa
