What Is the Level of Realization?

So-called attainment level generally refers to the degree to which one has attained or realized the teachings of the Mahayana and Hinayana vehicles, whether actualized through direct realization or through observational practice. "Attainment" means to achieve or realize, while "level" denotes measurement, degree, or standard.

Cultivating meditative concentration also involves attainment level, referred to as the attainment level of meditative concentration. The study of any Dharma teaching carries the concept of attainment level. Without having attained anything, there naturally exists no attainment level.
