7.134

Answer: Earlier it was explained that they do not receive a prophecy of the number of kalpas face-to-face like the people of the three capacities here; it is not that there is no general prophecy. Because they equally possess the buddha-nature and receive prophecies, prophecies can all be bestowed upon all sentient beings. The people of the three capacities are bestowed prophecies in terms of the gateway of conditioning causes; Sadāparibhūta bestowed prophecies in terms of the gateway of the direct cause. The meanings each have their distinctions.
