If taking awakening to the one vehicle and receiving prediction as attainment, the seven parables are all failing to summon the son, and only the eighth is attainment. If taking conversion through the Mahāyāna as attainment or non-attainment: in the past, when he was a novice preaching the Mahāyāna, that was conversion attained; from the time they turned their backs on the conversion onward, it was non-attainment; upon reaching the Lotus \[Sūtra\] and awakening to the one vehicle, it was attainment. As the 'Parable' chapter says: 'In the past, I taught you to aspire to the Buddha path'—this is conversion attained through the Mahāyāna; 'Yet now you have completely forgotten'—this is non-attainment; 'I now cause you to remember your original vow,' preaching the Lotus Sūtra for the śrāvakas—this is conversion attained. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.7.23) - [Next: 7.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.7.25) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.7.24) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.7.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.7.24) · Pramāṇa
