Cultivation and realization: they are cultivated throughout all five stations, and only a Buddha brings them to ultimate completion. In relation to the causal stations, there are generally three designations: during the first incalculable eon, the power of giving and the others is still weak and is subdued by afflictions, so it is merely called pāramitā; from the second eon onward, its power gradually increases and can subdue afflictions, so it is called upa-pāramitā; during the third asaṃkhyeya, its power increases still further and can definitively subdue all afflictions, so it is called mahā-pāramitā. Therefore, throughout the context of this text it repeatedly speaks of 'vast pāramitās'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.8.23) - [Next: 8.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.8.25) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735~en-mt.8.24) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [注大乘入楞伽經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.8.231) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.8.24) · Pramāṇa
