Answer: According to the Hīnayāna teaching, one hundred years constitutes the kalpa of decrease. According to the triyāna teaching, there are two kinds of decrease: first, decrease in time and not decrease in goodness; second, decrease in time and also decrease in goodness. The broad stage below eighty thousand kalpas constitutes a decrease in time; the broad stage below one hundred years constitutes a decrease in goodness, because the various evils such as the five defilements increase. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1869.1.35) - [Next: 1.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1869.1.37) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1869.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1869~en-mt.1.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1869.1.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1869.1.36) · Pramāṇa
