When the practitioner is at Summit, there are many obstacles from affliction and karma. The afflictions and so forth think thus: 'If the practitioner reaches Acceptance, in whose body shall I produce retribution?' When leaving the desire realm, they also think: 'If the practitioner leaves the desire realm, in whose body shall I produce retribution?' When leaving the stage of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, they also think: 'Once the practitioner leaves desire for that \[stage\], they will never again receive rebirth; in whose body shall I produce retribution?' At these three times, there are many obstacles. Retrogressing because of obstacles, they feel great sorrow and anguish. Like a person who sees a treasure trove and rejoices greatly, but loses it just as they wish to take it. One who abides in the phenomenon of Summit thinks to themselves: 'Before long I shall attain Acceptance, forever cut off the evil destinies, and obtain great and weighty benefits, like a noble one.' Yet suddenly retrogressing and losing it, they therefore feel great sorrow and anguish; thus it is spoken of as retrogression from Summit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.45) - [Next: 3.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.47) - [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.3.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.3.46) · Pramāṇa
