Second, the contrast between the ordinary and noble ranks: Kāśyapa and the others were the noble assembly, while the devas, nāgas, and so forth were the ordinary assembly. Third, the contrast between the receptive and background categories: Mañjuśrī and the others were the background assembly (shadow assembly), while Kāśyapa and the others were the primary receptive assembly. The primary receptive ones were those who only came to know the matters of Maitreya's death and rebirth through the teaching. The background assembly was gathered to reveal the excellence of the Dharma, whereas the receptive assembly was gathered to reveal the benefits of the Dharma. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.53) - [Next: 1.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.55) - [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.1.54) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1774.1.54) · Pramāṇa
