### [1.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.69)

興陽讓和尚。因僧問。大通智勝佛。十劫坐道場。佛法不現前。不得成佛道時如何。讓曰。其問甚諦當。僧云。既是坐道場。為甚麼不得成佛道。讓曰。為伊不成佛。

> A monk asked Upādhyāya Rang of Xingyang: "The Buddha Mahābhijñājñānābhibhū sat at the place of awakening for ten kalpas, yet the Buddha Dharma did not appear before him, and he could not attain the Buddha Way. What about this?" Rang said: "Your question is very apt." The monk asked: "Since he had sat at the place of awakening, why did he not attain the Buddha Way?" Rang said: "Because he did not become a Buddha."
