eighty characteristics ［八十種好］ ( hachijisshugō): Extraordinary features that Buddhas and bodhisattvas are said to have. While the thirty-two features are possessed not only by Buddhas and bodhisattvas but also by the gods Shakra and Brahmā and by the wheel-turning kings, the eighty characteristics are found only in Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Descriptions of the eighty characteristics vary. These and the thirty-two features partly overlap.
