10.73

第八、佛記者，但記其後代是弘法護持之人，與物有緣能興立大法，未見記作佛之文。遠而為論，亦應即明出之，齊文未有。

Eighth, regarding the Buddha's prophecy: it only prophesies that in later ages he will be a person who propagates and protects the Dharma, having conditions with beings and being able to establish the Great Dharma; one does not see a text prophesying his attaining buddhahood. Speaking from a long-term perspective, it should also be clearly brought out, but within this text it is not yet present.
