Furthermore, as the Nirvāṇa Sūtra states: 'On the Snowy Mountains there is a grass named forbearance. If a cow eats it, it produces ghee'—this is its meaning. However, although it is said that 'the sudden teaching is for converting bodhisattvas,' it is not without the concomitant introduction of the expedients of the distinctive teaching; thus the Anantanirdeśa Sūtra states: 'In the Mahāprajñā and the ocean-like emptiness of the Avataṃsaka, I expounded the bodhisattva's practice over kalpas, but had never yet expounded this profound Anantanirdeśa Sūtra.' It is not yet like the Lotus where all three vehicles together attain the opening of the Buddha's knowledge and vision, where the origin is revealed and the traces are manifested, and where the attainment of the path was achieved in the vastly remote past. In this way it is not identical with \[the views of\] the various dharma masters. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.128) - [Next: 6.130](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.130) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.6.129) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.129](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.129) · Pramāṇa
