As swiftly as a strong man bends or extends his arm, they are born in the Western World of Utmost Bliss.’" In this \[passage\] there should also be such matters as holding a flower and coming to receive them at the end of life, but the text abbreviates and does not describe it. The time it takes a strong man to bend or extend \[his arm\] also means a brief moment; the wording varies between earlier and later passages. Fourth, the benefits after birth, which has three parts: first, the flower opening; second, hearing the Dharma; third, attaining the Way. First, the flower opening. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.198](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.198) - [Next: 3.200](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.200) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754~en-mt.3.199) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.199](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.199) · Pramāṇa
