As the Satyasiddhi-śāstra states, 'Because of sūtras and treatises, the meaning is easily understood.' Thus, Bodhisattva Asanga, deeply surveying the sacred mind and weighing the purports of various sūtras, briefly set forth the four intents and the four reliances; for instance, he determined the pure land gate to be an expression with an implicit meaning concerning another time. Yet now you say that sentient beings who cultivate the practice will immediately attain rebirth—what does this mean? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.8) - [Next: 2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.10) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963~en-mt.2.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1963.2.9) · Pramāṇa
