The pratyekabuddha, through nidānas, sees the characteristics of birth and death, guards himself, and dares not depart from practice; because he attains the Way from seeing nidānas, he is called a pratyekabuddha. The Buddha sought the pratyekabuddha \[path\] for the sake of comprehensive practice and wishing to deliver and liberate people. A pratyekabuddha cut his own flesh to keep five hundred people alive, and pierced his own throat with wood; examining and calculating through nidānas, just as cutting the earth reveals blood to be water, and seeing that all things are impermanent, he then took the Way. There was a pratyekabuddha who in a past life was a bodhisattva for five hundred kalpas, and his body already possessed thirty marks, lacking two marks and falling short of the Buddha; falling short of the Buddha was because he lacked skillful means. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.25) - [Next: 1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.27) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730~en-mt.1.26) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.26) · Pramāṇa
