Answer: The \*Sūtra on the Ten Stages for Severing Bonds\* says: "Maitreya accumulated practice for kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and by his vow attained right awakening first; my own training in practice was after him." Corroborated by this text, Maitreya attained it first and Śākyamuni attained it later. However, regarding the \*Lotus Sūtra\*'s statement, "It has been immeasurable, boundless, nayutas of kalpas since I actually accomplished Buddhahood," the true bodies of the two Buddhas naturally have their own antiquity and recency, which may be understood upon reflection. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.47) - [Next: 1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.49) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774~en-mt.1.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.48) · Pramāṇa
