The Buddha opened the three vehicles for persons of three faculties; those of middling faculties despise śrāvakas following a teacher, yet also fear the length and distance of the Buddha Path, and therefore they appear in an era without a buddha and become pratyekabuddhas. Hence there are no pratyekabuddhas in the assembly of the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.5.78) - [Next: 5.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.5.80) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.5.79) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.5.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.5.79) · Pramāṇa
