5.53

"Or there may be those who encounter Buddhas and bodhisattvas, making offerings, serving, and cultivating all practices, but have not yet fulfilled ten thousand great kalpas, and midway encounter conditions and generate the mind. Encountering what kind of conditions? Namely, either seeing the Buddha's physical form, or making offerings to the Saṅgha, or being taught by the two vehicles, or seeing others generate the mind. Generations of the mind such as these are all not yet determinate. If they encounter evil conditions, they may at times regress and fall into the stages of the two vehicles."
