俱舍論疏 18.82

18.82

The Śāstra states: "When first generating the mind [...] each was identical to that [Buddha]." This clarifies the initial Buddhas of the three incalculable kalpas. The Nyāyānusāra states: "At the beginning of the first incalculable kalpa, he first encountered Śākyamuni Buddha [...] up to when the Bhagavān was the potter's son; in the presence of that Buddha, he generated a deeply pure mind, anointed him with fragrant oil, bathed him with fragrant water, and after making offerings, made a vast vow: 'May I become a Buddha, exactly like the present Bhagavān!'" The rest is the same as this Śāstra. According to this text, the True Dharma is again determined to be one thousand years. Encountering Śākyamuni Buddha corresponded to the wholesome roots conducive to liberation of the Mahāyāna lineage. Since the Buddha's extinction, there are many different accounts today, roughly speaking exceeding one thousand five hundred years. This is detailed extensively in a separate chapter.
