Those spoken by the Buddha exceed the measure of a kalpa, meaning exceeding one kalpa, and exceeding another kalpa, thus immeasurably up until attaining buddhahood. Therefore, the lifespan and fruits of the siddhi maintained by worldly people have a numerical limit not exceeding one kalpa. Now, \[the Buddha's\] is not lost, its lifespan is inexhaustible, exceeding the measure of the count of kalpas. If explained in terms of phenomenal practice, merely according to one's capacity one can exceed a certain number of kalpas, or exceed immeasurable kalpas with an inexhaustible lifespan, also surpassing those worldly devas. Therefore, saying "transcending kalpas" is a comprehensive and indefinite phrasing. To speak strictly of the reality of the lifespan: it surpasses the count of kalpas, and the retribution received is also without limit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.16.2) - [Next: 16.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.16.4) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796~en-mt.16.3) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.16.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.16.3) · Pramāṇa
