If they appear in an era without a buddha, contemplating blossoms flying and leaves falling, suddenly awakening as a pratyekabuddha, they are called 'solitary enlighteners'; if they are born in an era with a buddha, hearing the preaching of causes and conditions, suddenly awakening as a pratyekabuddha, they are called 'conditioned enlighteners'. Both possess abundant blessings and sharp faculties, representing the causes cultivated through four lifetimes or one hundred kalpas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.10) - [Next: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.12) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930~en-mt.1.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.11) · Pramāṇa
