three kinds of non-regression
三不退 (Jpn san-futai )
Also, three levels of non-regression. Three points past which someone engaged in bodhisattva practice does not return or regress.
The first is [[non-regression from one's present stage, or not receding from the stage of development one has attained.
The second is non-regression from action, or not retreating from Buddhist practice.
The third is non-regression from thought, or not receding from having one's thoughts fixed on the truth.
Each of these three is associated with a different level or stage of bodhisattva practice; in the course of bodhisattva practice, one first attains the non-regression from stage, then non-regression from action, and finally non-regression from thought, in which one's thoughts are unwaveringly fixed on the truth. Various Buddhist teachers and scholars established different systems relating the three kinds of non-regression to the fifty-two stages of bodhisattva practice.
