The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: "A srotāpanna arrives after eighty thousand kalpas... up to a pratyekabuddha arriving after ten thousand kalpas." They arrive at the bodhisattva's stage of initial resolve (the first abidance). This discusses holy stages; what benefit does it offer to beginning practitioners? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.7.12) - [Next: 7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.7.14) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.7.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.7.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.7.13) · Pramāṇa
