How is it that upon seeing Amitābha Buddha, they are ultimately equal in body and equal in dharma with all the bodhisattvas of the higher stages? Answer: Saying 'ultimately' does not mean that they are immediately equal. Because they will ultimately not fail to attain this equality, it is said to be equal. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.2.99) - [Next: 2.101](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.2.101) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819~en-mt.2.100) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.2.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1819.2.100) · Pramāṇa
