'Four fearlessnesses] (四無畏). Only a Buddha has (1) fearlessness because Knowledge of all Knowledge has been acquired; (2) fearlessness because all Afflictions have been eradicated; (3) fearlessness in explaining hindrances that obstruct one’s realization of Bodhi; and (4) fearlessness in explaining the right Path to end one’s Suffering.
There are four kinds of fearlessness, of which there are two groups:
A Buddha's fearlessness arises from
- 1 his omniscience
- 2 perfection of character
- 3 overcoming opposition
- 4 ending of suffering
B Bodhisattva's fearlessness arises from
- 1 powers of memory
- 2 power of moral diagnosis and application of the remedy
- 3 power of ratiocination
- 4 power of solving doubts
