30.26

When it decreased to one hundred years, the fourth Buddha, Śākyamuni, appeared in the world. Originally [destined for] when [lifespan was] 10,000 years, observing that sentient beings lacked the capacity to be delivered, he appeared in the world at the end of the kalpa when [lifespan was] one hundred years and suffering was oppressive (Dīrghāgama, Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra).
