Furthermore, the Upāsaka-sūtra, in its fourteenth chapter, states: 'They spontaneously know that they should attain bodhi, yet temporarily take the fruition of the small vehicle.' In the thirteenth chapter, it directly explains that by receiving the precepts one attains the fruits of the three paths; because knowing it is very easy but practicing it is very difficult, although they know the one vehicle, they realize the fruit of an arhat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.18) - [Next: 6.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.20) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.6.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.19) · Pramāṇa
