Within this there are three steps: first, the two phrases 'stating that for sixty minor kalpas he did not rise from his seat' directly clarify the identity of the number of kalpas that passed: at that time the Buddha expounded the Lotus Sūtra for sixty minor kalpas; second, from 'the listeners in the assembly at that time' downward clarifies that the number of kalpas in the past was actually long, but the assembly at the time deemed it short; third, from 'at that time among the assembly' downward clarifies that the assembly at the time did not generate indolence or weariness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.2.33) - [Next: 2.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.2.35) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715~en-mt.2.34) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.2.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.2.34) · Pramāṇa
