Definition
- Four awarenesses with patience for further realization
- From among the sixteen phases of a seeing pathway mind, four of the eight uninterrupted pathway minds, one each for each of the four noble truths concerning the phenomena of the two higher planes of samsaric existence: the plane of ethereal forms (form realm) and the plane of formless beings (formless realm). Each of the four has non-conceptual cognition of the four aspects of one of the four noble, which acts as an obliterated opponent for attaining a true stopping of that portion of doctrinally based obscurations associated with the two higher planes of existence and which is in relation to that noble truth.
