The Avataṃsaka sudden collection combines the distinct teaching with the perfect teaching. When he first attained enlightenment at Mṛgadāva, before twelve years had passed, he preached the three trainings of morality, concentration, and wisdom; these all belonged to the Hinayana, being only the Tripiṭaka teaching. After the twelve years and before Prajñāpāramitā, the Mahāsaṃnipāta, Ratnakūṭa, Laṅkāvatāra, Viśeṣacintibrahmaparipṛcchā, Vimalakīrtinirdeśa, and Suvarṇaprabhāsa, with the exception of Prajñāpāramitā, all belonged to the vaipulya \[period\], illuminating the complete against the half-\[word\], possessing all four teachings. The various sections of the Prajñāpāramitā brought along the half to illuminate the complete, possessing the shared, distinct, and perfect, but lacking the Tripiṭaka teaching. The Saddharmapuṇḍarīka assembly completely eliminated the three, having only the one perfect teaching; the Nirvāṇa at the very end discussed permanence, with all four teachings understanding the perfect principle; therefore both sūtras share the flavor of ghee. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.8) - [Next: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.10) - [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.1.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.9) · Pramāṇa
