Rice originally only nourishes the physical body, yet now they attain the Path through it; thus he exclaims that it is unprecedented. A buddha takes converting people as his work; whatever converts people is all called 'the work of a buddha.' Because Ānanda thought that the wonders of a buddha's work were exhausted in this, \[the Buddha\] below extensively explains the work of a buddha in order to broaden his mind. \[Seng\]zhao says: Rice originally only nourishes the physical body, yet it removes defilements and fetters; this had never been heard or seen before. \[Dao\]sheng says: A buddha takes eliciting awakening as his work, and the fragrant rice can do this; thus it is unprecedented. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.31) - [Next: 9.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.33) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.9.32) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.32) · Pramāṇa
