The Upāsakaśīla-sūtra, fascicle fourteen, says: 'The two vehicles know of themselves that they will attain bodhi, yet temporarily take the fruit of the small vehicle.' Fascicle thirteen also says: 'Knowing it is easy, practicing it is difficult; although knowing the One Vehicle, they take arhatship.' Both of those sūtras say that they know; why does the present sūtra state that even after the three faculties they still did not know of themselves, first doubting and later awakening? What is the meaning of this? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.4.53) - [Next: 4.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.4.55) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.4.54) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法華玄論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.5.69) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.4.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.4.54) · Pramāṇa
