Fearlessness in declaring that one has (1) awakened, (2) ceased all illusions, (3) taught the obstacles to awakening, and (4) shown the way to liberation.

The four assurances are proclaimed by the tathāgatas, and can be found listed in http://read.84000.co/translation/UT22084-031-002.html#UT22084-031-002-248 and http://read.84000.co/translation/UT22084-031-002.html#UT22084-031-002-2374 as: (1) "I claim to have attained genuinely perfect buddhahood;" (2) "I claim I am one whose contaminants have ceased;" (3) "I claim to have explained those things which cause obstacles;" (4) "I claim to have explained the path through which suffering will genuinely cease." (See also note http://read.84000.co/translation/UT22084-031-002.html#UT22084-031-002-252.)
These four are generally known by other names, i.e., the first is the "assurance in the knowledge of all things" (sarvadharmābhisambodhivaiśarādya, {chos thams cad mkhyen pa la mi 'jigs pa}), which the Buddha achieves for his own benefit; the second is the "assurance in the knowledge of the cessation of all contaminants" (sarvāśravakṣayajñānavaiśarādya, {zag pa zad pa thams cad mkhyen pa la mi 'jigs pa}), which the Buddha achieves for his own benefit; the third is the "assurance to declare that phenomena that obstruct the path will not engender any further negative outcomes" (anantarāyikadharmānanyathātvaviniścitavyākaraṇavaiśarādya, {bar du gcod pa'i chos rnams gzhan du mi 'gyur bar nges pa'i lung bstan pa la mi 'jigs pa}), which the Buddha achieves for others' benefit; and the fourth is the "assurance that the path of renunciation through which all excellent attributes are to be obtained has been just so realized" (sarvasampadadhigamāya nairāṇikapratipattathātvavaiśarādya, {bar du gcod pa'i chos rnams gzhan du mi 'gyur bar nges pa'i lung bstan pa la mi 'jigs pa}), which the Buddha achieves for others' benefit.
