Later, seeing the forty-first fascicle of the "Dharmadhātu Chapter" of the Avataṃsaka: "Among the spiritual friends, there was the elder Sthira, who obtained the dharma-gate of non-extinction, saw that all past buddhas are never extinct, and upon opening the sandalwood stūpa door, immediately attained samādhi-wisdom." The non-extinction of past buddhas corresponds precisely to the non-extinction revealed by opening the stūpa in the Lotus Sūtra, perfectly tallies with it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.18) - [Next: 9.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.20) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.9.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.19) · Pramāṇa
