It can also mean the "common accomplishments," eight mundane accomplishments, such as clairvoyance, clairaudiance, flying in the sky, becoming invisible, everlasting youth, or powers of transmutation. The traditional list of the eight common accomplishments includes the accomplishment of the sword, pill, eye potion, swift feet, extraction of essences, celestial realm, invisibility, and the treasures below the earth. With the consecrated sword, you can fly through the sky or to celestial realms. When eating the consecrated pill, you become totally invisible and can assume any guise, just like a yaksha. When applying the consecrated eye potion, you can see both distant and subtle objects in the world. When smearing consecrated substance on your feet, you can travel around the world in a moment. By means of the mantra and the extracted essences of flowers and so forth, you can prolong your life span, regain youthſulness, and turn iron into gold. The accomplishment of the celestial realms is mastery of a mundane god or the ability to visit the six abodes of the gods in the realm of desire. By smearing a spot of consecrated substance on your forehead, you can become totally invisible. And, finally, by revealing buried treasures of precious gems and so forth, you can fulfill the wishes of others. The most eminent attainments on the path are, however, renunciation, compassion, unshakable faith, and realization of the correct view. (2) (sgrub pa).
