View source for Evaluating Whether Progress is Certain or Uncertain

In this [[sutra]], '''Evaluating Whether Progress is Certain or Uncertain''', (Skt. ''Niyatāniyatagatimudrāvatāra'' Tib. ངེས་པ་དང་མ་ངེས་པར་འགྲོ་བའི་ཕྱག་རྒྱ་ལ་འཇུག་པ།, [[Wyl.]] ''nges pa dang ma nges par ‘gro ba’i'' ''phyag rgya la ‘jug pa'')  [[Manjushri]] asks the [[Shakyamuni Buddha|Buddha]] about the factors that make it either certain or not certain that a [[bodhisattva]] will attain unsurpassable, perfect [[enlightenment|awakening]]. In response, the Buddha describes five ways in which bodhisattvas may or may not make progress on the [[path]]. As an analogy for different ways of making progress, he compares five different ways of travelling a very great distance: using a cattle cart, using an elephant chariot, using the moon and sun, using the magical power of the [[shravaka]]s, and using the magical power of the [[Tathagata]].<ref>84000 Translating the Words of the Buddha.</ref>
