It has three parts: first, discerning the cause and origin; next, explaining the opening of the stūpa, from "At that time Mahāpratibhāna Bodhisattva, through the Buddha's divine power, addressed the Buddha, saying" downward; and afterwards, explaining the sighting and praise, from "At once the entire assembly saw Prabhūtaratna Tathāgata seated in the precious stūpa" downward. The first text has two parts: first, the request; second, the response. In the request there are two parts: first, the assembly's silent mental request; second, Pratibhāna's spoken request. This is the first. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.408](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.408) - [Next: 8.410](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.410) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.8.409) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [妙法蓮華經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*zh-kumarajiva.4.64) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.409](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.409) · Pramāṇa
