Furthermore, a bodhisattva of two lifetimes is near to one who succeeds to the \[Buddha's\] place; the position of one who succeeds to the place mostly belongs to the distinctive and perfect \[teachings\], in which such a thing never occurs. In the shared teaching, having reached the ground of seeing, one is already exempt from the evil destinies, and also does not fall. It must be that a bodhisattva of the tripiṭaka \[teaching\], when reaching two lifetimes, has still not severed delusions and only then understands the two truths; in this meaning there is no flaw. Prior to that, falling into the evil destinies is also meaningful. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.146) - [Next: 2.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.148) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.2.147) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.147) · Pramāṇa
