Eighteen Exclusive Dharmas (aṣṭādaśa-āveṇika-Dharma, 十八不共法). Only Buddhas have these eighteen attainments, which Arhats, Pratyekabuddhas, and Bodhisattvas do not have. They include
(1–3) perfection in conduct, speech, and Mindfulness;
(4) impartiality to all;
(5) Constant serenity;
(6) equability toward sensory experiences;
(7) unceasing Desire to deliver Sentient beings;
(8) inexhaustible energy for helping Sentient beings;
(9) unfailing memory of The Buddha Dharma;
(10) perfect Wisdom in everything;
(11) total Liberation from Afflictions and habits;
(12) perfect Knowledge and views of Liberation;
(13–15) perfect Body karmas, voice karmas, and Mind karmas, led by Wisdom;
(16–18) perfect Knowledge of the past, present, and future.
Another set of eighteen includes the Ten Powers, the Four fearlessnesses, the Threefold Mindfulness of Equality, and the Great Compassion. The Threefold Mindfulness of Equality means that a Buddha’s Mind abides in equality toward
(1) those who listen to the Dharma reverently,
(2) those who listen to the Dharma irreverently, and
(3) these two groups.
