  • Buddhahood 佛果 (*niṣṭhâvasthā). The final stage among the five stages of practice enumerated by Vasubandhu in his Triṃśikā. Reversing the basis of oneʼs existence 轉依, experiencing great enlightenment and great nirvana. The person who has achieved this rank will engage in the practice of saving all sentient beings in a future lifetime. In the Yogâcārabhūmi 瑜伽論, the final stage is associated with knowledge of eradication (kṣaya-jñāna 盡智) and knowledge of non-arising (anutpāda-jñāna 無生智). 〔瑜珈論 T 1579.30.529a23〕 According to the Cheng weishi lun 成唯識論, in this final stage the practitioner attains the spontaneous and effortless contemplation of the uncontaminated 無漏觀. 〔成唯識論T 1585.31.52a26〕 In Yogâcāra, the last of the five stages 五位 (Skt. niṣṭhā).
