aśaikṣa-mārga ; (Sanskrit). The path of no more learning’, the last of the five paths to Buddhahood (pañca-mārga), when all defilements (kleśa) and perverse views about the knowable—such as a belief in an inherent, permanent self (ātman)—are overcome. It is at this point one becomes enlightened as either an Arhat or a Buddha.
