The \*Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa\* (\*Dālun\*) states: 'In the śrāvaka sūtras, an arhat is called the buddha-ground; therefore the three persons are equally ghee.' This metaphor corresponds to the five flavors of the Tripiṭaka teaching. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.45) - [Next: 1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.47) - [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.1.46) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [妙法蓮華經玄義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.78) — Classical Chinese - [摩訶止觀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.212) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.46) · Pramāṇa
