Manifesting the Buddha's bodily actions, performing identical deeds throughout all worlds; 2. Concurring with the Buddha's mental actions, maintaining the great Dharma through dhāraṇī; 3.

Non-retrogression has four types: (1) Non-retrogression in according with noumenon, because there is no altered teaching; (2) Non-retrogression in responding to capacities, because utterances are never in vain; (3) Non-retrogression in benefiting, because hearing it leads to certainty; (4) Non-retrogression in subduing, because heavenly Māras and non-Buddhists cannot shake them. Furthermore, there are four kinds of non-retrogression: faith, station, realization, and mindfulness; here it corresponds to the fourth, non-retrogression of mindfulness.
