The Nirvāṇa Sūtra uses the earlier emergence of non-Buddhists as an analogy for former physicians, and the later appearance of the Tathāgata as an analogy for a visiting physician; the precepts instituted by the Buddha are called 'guest precepts.' Beyond the phenomenal precepts, they additionally cultivate the precepts conforming to the Path and the precepts of non-attachment; at the culmination of the stages of these precepts, according to their teaching, ash-extinction \[nirvāṇa\] is attained and no retribution is spoken of. Now, relying on the Mahāyāna, they are born into the Land of Expedients and receive transformative life. The various texts do not specify a lifespan limit for this land, but only that causes shift and fruits transform. Now, stating 'seven hundred asaṃkhyeyas' must mean that only after that many kalpas do they enter \[the Land of\] True Retribution. If one eradicates the delusions of sand and dust in this land, one also attains the Dharma-eye. Now, discussing those of the two vehicles who are newly born \[there\], they only attain the wisdom-eye. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.6) - [Next: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.8) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786~en-mt.2.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.7) · Pramāṇa
