Answer: Five hundred small parasols unite into a single one; how could this not indicate the convergence of myriad causes into a single fruit? The single fruit is precisely the complete retribution dharmakāya; where there is a body there is a land. Therefore, in the text, when the bodhisattva cultivates practices such as dāna and achieves buddhahood, such sentient beings come to be born in that land. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.20) - [Next: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.22) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778~en-mt.2.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.21) · Pramāṇa
