| The '''thirty-seven elements of enlightenment''' (''chang chok sodun'' [Tib.]) are a system of thirty-seven factors practised at specific stages of the first four of the [[five paths]]. They also correspond to qualities of [[enlightenment]], since the [[buddha]]s have perfected all those elements. So the thirty-seven elements of a buddha are different than those in the mind of someone on the [[path of learning]].
