Therefore the Lotus Sūtra says: "For those seeking to be śrāvakas, he preached the dharma responding to the four truths to cross beyond birth, old age, sickness, and death, to ultimate nirvāṇa; for those seeking to be pratyekabuddhas, he preached the dharma responding to the twelve links of dependent origination; for those seeking to be bodhisattvas, he preached the dharma responding to the six pāramitās, causing them to attain sambodhi and accomplish all-aspect wisdom." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.97) - [Next: 3.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.99) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.3.98) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [四教義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1929.4.3) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.98) · Pramāṇa
