According to this, what is subsumed under the Abhidharma-piṭaka is also spoken by the Buddha. Since this treatise was composed by a bodhisattva after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, how can it also enter the Abhidharma-piṭaka? Answer: The Dharma spoken by the Buddha is of three kinds: first, spoken by the Buddha himself; second, spoken through his empowerment of others; third, spoken through prophecy. The present \[treatise\] is of the latter kind. Thus the \*Māyā-sūtra\* states: "The Buddha prophesied that Aśvaghoṣa would light the torch of the true Dharma, destroy the banner of false views, and skillfully explain the essentials of the Dharma." Having received a prophecy, it is identical to the Buddha's words; therefore it is subsumed here. Question: If you say it enters the Śāstra-piṭaka because of a prophecy, could it be that all bodhisattvas who composed treatises after the Buddha's extinction had prophecies? Because of this objection, I now provide an alternative explanation: although discourses and discussions were spoken by the Buddha, they all belong to the Sūtra-piṭaka, because all twelve divisions are called sūtras. Those composed by bodhisattvas are only called treatises; they either take those sūtras as their source or comment on them, so their subsumption here is also not contradictory. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.2.21) - [Next: 2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.2.23) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.2.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.2.22) · Pramāṇa
