The stirring of thoughts of the karmic characteristic is the finest among thoughts, called subtle thoughts. These characteristics are completely exhausted, forever leaving no remainder; hence it says "being far removed." The time of being far removed is precisely the Buddha-ground. In the preceding stages, they had not yet awakened to the source of the mind, the characteristic of arising was not yet exhausted, and the mind was still impermanent; now arriving at this stage, avidyā is permanently extinguished, they return to the source of the mind, and there is no further stirring; hence it says "attaining the perception of the mind-nature." The mind is immediately permanent and abiding, with nothing further to advance toward, called ultimate enlightenment. It is also explained that before returning to the source of the mind, dream-thoughts are not yet exhausted, and one desires to extinguish this stirring, hoping to reach that tranquility; now, having perceived the mind-nature, dream-thoughts are completely exhausted, and one realizes that one's own mind fundamentally has no transmigration and now has no extinction, being always self-identical as the One Mind, like staying on a single bed; hence it says "attaining the perception of the mind-nature, the mind is immediately permanent and abiding." Thus actualized enlightenment is equal to and non-different from innate enlightenment; this is called "ultimate enlightenment." This clarifies the limit of awakening. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.63) - [Next: 1.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.65) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845~en-mt.1.64) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.64) · Pramāṇa
