In order to benefit the five destinies, he manifests birth among them; thus the previous parable stated, "If I and my children do not come out in time," which means manifesting residence in saṃsāra for the sake of sentient beings, and manifesting that it is only in this present life that he comes forth from the house. This clarifies the reason for entering the house. There is also an explanation stating that "benefiting" refers to the doors and windows: the Buddha enters the house for the sake of benefit, and sentient beings leave the house by relying on benefit—that is, the teaching and practice of the Single Vehicle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.287](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.287) - [Next: 5.289](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.289) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.5.288) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.288](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.288) · Pramāṇa
