Book Description
In Chapter Fifteen, countless Bodhisattvas come forth from the earth, present themselves before the Buddha, and express concern as to his well-being. Maitreya asks where they came from, and the Buddha explains that he taught and transformed them after he attained annutarasamyaksambodhi. In Chapter Sixteen, the Buddha resolves the doubts of the great assembly by explaining that he actually became a Buddha countless eons ago and only manifests quiescence in order to awaken beings.
