Enlightenment is not the past, the future, or the present, and the mind is the same. Because there is no focus on any phenomenon, there is nothing to be found in this. There is no enlightenment. There is no designation as enlightenment. There are no beings. There are no designations as beings. There are no śrāvakas. There are no designations as śrāvakas. There are no pratyekabuddhas. There are no designations as pratyekabuddhas. There are no bodhisattvas. There are no designations as bodhisattvas. There are no buddhas. There are no designations as buddhas. There are no composite phenomena. There are no designations as composite phenomena. There is no noncomposite. There is no designation as noncomposite. “However, noble one, the development of the first noble aspiration is like Sumeru; it is truly high because of all the roots of merit. Its cause is the perfection of generosity. “The second development of aspiration is like the earth in being the location of all activities in the Dharma. Its cause is the perfection of correct conduct. “The third development of aspiration is like the maned lion, the king of animals, because it has no terror, no anxiety, and no fear. Its cause is the perfection of patience. “The fourth development of aspiration is like the might, strength, force, diligence, and courage of Nārāyaṇa, because it is irreversible. Its cause is the perfection of diligence. “The fifth development of aspiration is like someone who is truly noble through their various good actions because they are never satisfied with their merit. Its cause is the perfection of meditation. “The sixth development of aspiration is like the bright disk of the sun because it dispels deep darkness. Its cause is the perfection of wisdom. - [Previous: 76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.76) - [Next: 78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.78) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་གསེར་འོད་དམ་པ་མདོ་སྡེའི་དབང་པོའི་རྒྱལ་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556.77) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.77) · Pramāṇa
