casting away vices and achieving enlightenment
Buddhist yojijukugo; used in religious or philosophical contexts to describe the process of abandoning worldly desires and reaching spiritual awakening.
In Buddhism, casting away delusions and attaining enlightenment is considered the ultimate goal of practice.
A yojijukugo composed of 転 (turn), 迷 (delusion), 開 (open), and 悟 (enlightenment), literally 'turn delusion, open enlightenment'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but it reflects standard Buddhist terminology.
