Suppose someone asks: 'If it is expounded suddenly at the initial attainment, and at the initial attainment Śāriputra and the others had not yet been delivered, where could the five hundred arhats come from?' Therefore, it now answers: 'The nine times encompass one another.' Next, someone objects: 'Even if the Jeta Grove, Śāriputra, and the others are granted to interpenetrate in the nine times, how can there be repeated assemblies in a single thought-moment and a single time? Only with an earlier time and a later time can there be repetition.' Therefore, it now resolves: 'The term "repeated assembly" is just like the interpenetration of lamp lights. Just as lighting lamp saucers appears to have earlier and later, the light has no earlier or later and yet interpenetrates. Here, the meaning of repeated assembly is merely like lamp light: within one time, it does not prevent two assemblies; the teachings have repetition, but time does not repeat.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.86) - [Next: 17.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.88) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.17.87) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.87) · Pramāṇa
