Upholding the noble eightfold poṣadha precepts, I crossed over difficulties and rescued those in distress. Even if the four continents were filled with blazing flames like the conflagration at the end of a kalpa, if one single-mindedly takes refuge, calls upon the name of the Tathāgata, and upholds the eightfold poṣadha precepts, though one throws oneself into the flames, they cannot burn; if filled with water, the water cannot drown. The eightfold poṣadha precepts are the father and mother of all Buddhas." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.36) - [Next: 7.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.38) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384~en-mt.7.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.37) · Pramāṇa
