Thus the Mahāyāna\[-upadeśa\] states: 'For example, yellow lions and white lions are both capable of leaping. When a yellow lion leaps, it does not go far; but a white lion is capable of leaping a great distance. When a śrāvaka enters the transcending samādhi, they can only leap from the first dhyāna to enter the third dhyāna; they cannot even leap over two, so how could they leap over three? This is like the yellow lion's leap. The bodhisattva is not like this: from the first dhyāna, they can leap afar to enter nirodha-samāpatti, acting at will with mastery; this is like the white lion's leap.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.114](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.10.114) - [Next: 10.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.10.116) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.10.115) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.10.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.10.115) · Pramāṇa
