Meditation way of the solitary realizers

Description:
This is the state of the [great awakening] achieved by a solitary person who has achieved insight into the causally continuous doctrine of being through the twelve [nidana] and achieved enlightenment without having had the aid of a Buddha or without having had access to Buddhist teachings in his last lifetime. The vehicle is known as [pratyekayana] and leads to a state somewhere between that of an [arhat] and that of a [bodhisattva].
