For example, the first fruit \[of the stream-enterer\] spontaneously takes seven lifetimes, but if he encounters a buddha and applies practice, in one lifetime or two lifetimes he can reach the stage of non-learning (and so forth). "Naturally accomplish the Buddha path" is the reward body; "vaidūrya" is the inherent purity of the Dharma body; "golden image" is manifesting forms in response to beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.3.38) - [Next: 3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.3.40) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.3.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.3.39) · Pramāṇa
