Even the Tenth Faith Bodhisattvas[5], who have already brought forth the great resolve to cultivate, will sometimes progress and sometimes regress. Like a feather floating in space, Bodhisattvas who cultivate the Ten Faiths must pass through 10,000 kalpas (there are around 16 million years in one kalpa) for the mind of faith to be complete, their good roots to mature and for them to certify to the First Dwelling[6]. At this point they can be assured that they will no longer regress.

As stated in Chapter 21 on Irreversibility, the technical Buddhist term for this stage is non-regression in position. If you recite the Buddha’s name and obtain rebirth to the Western Bliss Pure Land, you can immediately certify to the three non-regressions in position, practice and mind.
