| English | At this level the bodhisattva's perfection of energy becomes exceedingly powerful on the basis of maintaining the factors that aid Awakening so as to progress beyond the turbulence of body, speech and mind. And this level is called ‘The Radiant’ owing to the flaring of the flame of the factors that aid Awakening, a flame that is capable of incinerating all the fuel of the defilements. He becomes someone who continuously dwells in the factors that aid Awakening. Meditating on the (noble) truths, so long as he cannot reorient the mind from facing nirvāṇa to facing saṃsāra, and cannot cultivate the factors that aid Awakening collected under method, that long it remains the fourth level. But when he can, then from the fulfillment of this limb the fifth level is established. |
