Why say that the Tathāgata bestows this Buddha-fruition upon sentient beings?" The explanation states: "This is indeed sentient beings' own Buddha-fruition. However, external conditions are indispensable: if the Tathāgata did not preach for them the method of practicing the cause to reach the fruition, then sentient beings would be unable to leave this birth and death and reach nirvāṇa far away. If this were not so, why would the sūtra contain the meaning of conferring prophecies?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.4.61) - [Next: 4.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.4.63) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715~en-mt.4.62) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.4.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.4.62) · Pramāṇa
