With regard to movement up to retrogression, there are two: the lower is Heat, and the upper is Summit. Those of non-movement up to non-retrogression are two: the lower is Acceptance, and the upper is the phenomenon of Foremost worldly phenomena. Another says: it should be called "lower summit." Why is this? Because it is at the summit of the phenomenon of Heat, it is called Summit; because it is below the phenomenon of Acceptance, it is called lower. Another says: like the path on a mountain summit, people do not stay long. If there are no difficulties, they will certainly cross over from here to there; if they encounter difficulties, they immediately retrogress and return. The practitioner abides at Summit not long: if without difficulties, they will certainly reach Acceptance; if there are difficulties, they retrogress and return to Heat. Like a mountain summit, it is therefore called Summit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.33) - [Next: 3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.35) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.3.34) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.34) · Pramāṇa
