At that time there was no Buddha in the world. The saṅgha taught and transformed, holding a great assembly to expound the Dharma. I went to listen to the Dharma, rejoiced upon hearing the Dharma, and took a medicinal fruit named harītakī to offer to the saṅgha. Due to this fruit's retribution, at the end of life I was born in heaven, and descending to be born in the world I was always in noble and honorable stations, surpassing the multitude. For ninety-one kalpas I never suffered from disease. With the remainder of the merit I met the Buddha and attained arhatship.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.77) - [Next: 8.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.79) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.8.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛說諸德福田經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottara.punyaksetrasutra*zh-falifaju.1.17) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.78) · Pramāṇa
