His wife gave birth to a boy, upright and extraordinary, whom all who saw him respected and admired. As he gradually grew up, he saw the Buddha and attained the fruit of arhat. At that time, the World-Honoured One addressed the bhikṣus: "Ninety-one kalpas in the past, there was Vipaśyin Buddha. After he entered nirvāṇa, there was a king named Bandhumat, who gathered the relics and built a stūpa of the four treasures to make offerings to them. Later, it was slightly damaged. A young boy entered the stūpa, saw the damaged place, and with a gentle and joyous expression called people together to plaster and repair the stūpa, made a vow, and departed. Due to this merit, for ninety-one kalpas he did not fall into hell, among animals, or among hungry ghosts. In heaven and among humans, he enjoyed limitless pleasure, and was always looked upon with respect and admiration by gods and humans. Down to the present, he has met me, is looked upon with respect and admiration by everyone, has gone forth into homelessness, and has attained the Way." Hearing what the Buddha said, they joyfully put it into practice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 38.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.19) - [Next: 38.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.21) - [Up: 38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.38.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.20) · Pramāṇa
