From the present life, one further creates actions; by these causes and conditions, one obtains a future body and sense faculties. For example, when a grain seed combines with multiple conditions, a sprout is able to grow. Yet this seed does not actually pass into the sprout; because the seed perishes, the sprout then grows. Because the seed perishes, it is not permanent; because the sprout arises, it is not severed. The Buddha's explanation of receiving a body is also like this: although there is no self, karmic retribution is not lost.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 66.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.9) - [Next: 66.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.11) - [Up: 66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.66.10) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大莊嚴論經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.kalpanamanditika*zh-kumarajiva.1.42) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.10) · Pramāṇa
