In order to guard the Earth as well as saving all mankind, Superman, who has lost his supernatural powers, chooses the ‘great love’ (i.e. Unconditional Love) but puts down the small love (his love with a woman on Earth). Having experienced a number of hindrances, Superman manages to return to the mysterious realm and has the restoration of his supernatural powers.

Having lost his miraculous power because of prurient interest, Ekasrnga recovered what he had previously lost
In『the 28^th of Dhyana Paramita of the Explanation of Initial Article 』of《The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom》, Volume 17 (《大智度論》卷十七『釋初品中禪波羅蜜第二十八』):
The Buddha gave counsel to the bhikkhus, “There’s a horn growing from the immortal’s forehead and his legs look like those of a deer. He’s been taught frequently and has learned industriously so that he understands all eighteen kinds of sutras, learns sitting in meditation, conducts the Four Immeasurable Hearts as well as attaining the Five Transcendental Powers. The immortal asked a lady, ‘Why do you have such nice and beautiful complexion?’ The lady answered, ‘I always eat this good fruit and drink this fine water.’ The immortal said, ‘Why don’t you stay and live here?’ She replied, ‘Yes, I’ll live here.’ The lady asked him to take a bath together. Getting into contact with the lady’s soft hand, the immortal was so tempted that it evolved into lust. This made him lost his miraculous power at once. … . The immortal then returned to the mountains to practise diligently and soon he resumed the Five Transcendental Powers. Ekasrnga (meaning: one horn. He is the immortal mentioned) is now me whereas the obscene lady is now Yasodhara (the wife of Siddhartha Gautama who later became a bhikkhuni (a Buddhist nun)).”

Immortal Bo-jie who had attained the Five Transcendental Powers regained his miraculous power which he had previously lost as a result of prosperous eros
In the 52^nd of 【The Buddha Speaks of Immortal Bo-jie Sutra】 (【佛說仙人撥劫經】第五十二):
The Buddha gave counsel to the bhikkhus, “Ages ago, at an ancient time, there was an immortal named Bo-jie who had already attained the Five Transcendental Powers. He was sincerely served by the king at that time and he flew to and back from the palace with his deva-foot ubiquity. The king offered him whatever that made him comfortable. The king had not only carried the immortal in both hands and walked him to his seat (whenever he arrived at the palace as a respectful welcome), but had also poured him hundreds of drinks personally for a number of years. It so happened that the king had to leave the palace to deal with some worldly matters. He then gave the duty of serving the immortal to his beloved daughter who did not need to go on the journey. The princess was so pretty that her beauty was said to be rare. The king told her daughter, ‘I’ve never dared to disappoint the serving of the immortal. I’m going on a long journey and you should make offerings to the immortal in the way I always do during my absence.’ Seeing the immortal flew into the palace, the princess held him with her hands and lifted him to his seat. The contact with the female’s soft body raised the lust of the immortal that made him fill with prosperous eros and consequently lost his deva-foot ubiquity. Having tried but failed to restore his deva-foot ubiquity even after thorough thinking, the immortal had to leave the palace on foot. The immortal was so ashamed that he subdued his mind and reproved himself by staying overnight to practise diligently. He finally had his miraculous power regained. The immortal at that time was Sariputra while the king at that time was me.”

A bhiksu who had attained the Five Transcendental Powers was depraved because of woman’s charm eventually managed to achieve the attainment of an Arhat
In【 The Ekottara Agama】(【增壹阿含經】)
There was once a bhikkhu named Gaya-Sariputra. Though he had attained the Five Transcendental Powers, he was unable to break away from the seduction of woman’s charm and thus he resumed secular life and returned home. One day, seeing Ananda begging for alms when he himself was frolicking with two women at the doorway of his home, a great sense of shame arose in Gaya-Sariputra that made him beg the Buddha to allow him to become a monk all over again. This time, bhiksu Gaya-Sariputra achieved the attainment of an Arhat but neither the heretics nor the general public believed in him. They sneered at him and asked, “Will a bhiksu who has attained the state of an Arhat resume secular life and violate the Precepts again?” Gaya-Sariputra told the public that he had only acquired the worldly Five Transcendental Powers but not yet attained the state of an Arhat previously and hence he would still be depraved. Now, he had already attained the state of an Arhat that he would never be depraved any more.

The recovery of Arhatship attained after its deprivation resulting from the arising of vexation
In『Part 2 of the 12^th Chapter on Mahakasyapa Bodhisattva』of【The Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra 】,Volume 34(【大般涅槃經】卷三十四『迦葉菩薩品第十二之二』):
About the causes of the degeneration of miraculous power, there are two kinds in which one is from within while the other is from external. Though an Arhat is detached from internal causes, he is not yet parted from the external ones. Because of the existence of external causes and conditions, it may induce the arisen of vexation; with the presence of vexation, it results in the degeneration of miraculous power achieved. There was once a bhikkhu named Qu-di who had ever experienced such degeneration for six times. Feeling ashamed for the frequent losses (of miraculous power achieved), he then practised even more industriously and acquired the attainment instantly at the seventh time. He ended his life with a knife afterwards (it is different from the suicide of sentient beings because with the pass-away of an Arhat, there will be the disintegration of the physical body and the five aggregates will cease to function. Thus, all traces of existence in the phenomenal world will be ended and hence the Arhat is totally relesased from the misery of Samsara and will not be reborn in any worlds) for fear that the attainment would also be lost. I (refers to the Buddha) discoursed Samayavimokkha (時解脫temporary liberation) as well as the six kinds of Arhats etc. again.

In《Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra 》, Volume 61 (《大毗婆沙論》卷六十一):
According to Sutra, there are two kinds of Arhats: one is parihanadharman (Arhats who backslide in the Dharma) and the other is aparihanadharman (the non-retrogressing Dharma). Sutra also says that the reason for the retreating but without being forgetful of Samayavimokkha Arhats is the Five Cause-Condition. What are they? First, busy with other business; Second, interested in various conceptual proliferation; Third, fond of involving in conflicts and combats; Fourth, like travelling long-distance; Fifth, get sick frequently. Besides, it is also said in Sutra that there was once an Arhat called Godhika, who had attained Samayavimokkha, experienced the gain and loss of Arhatship for six times. In his seventh attainment, he ended his life with a knife for fear that the Arhatship achieved would be lost again. He then entered into Nirvana. Hence, it is known that Arhats can have their achievements degenerated when vexation arises.

In 【Shorter Chinese Samyukta Agama】,Volume 2(The 30th) (【別譯雜阿含經】卷二(三0)):
Evam Me Sutam (如是我聞remarks: a Pali term for the starting of sutras. When written in English: Thus have I heard/Thus I have heard). On one occasion, the Buddha was dwelling in the Cave of Seven Leaves in Vaibhara Hill in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a bhikkhu named Qiu-shen who lived alone in a dark grotto in Mt. Celestial (also in Rajagriha). Staying in a leisure and quiet place, Qiu-shen practised diligently and vigorously. With no laxity and the elimination of self-view, he achieved Samayavimokkha and experienced self-manifestation of Enlightenment. Yet, he suffered from retrogression after that. It was not just the first time, but also the second, the third until the sixth time, there was still retrogression. The bhikkhu then thought, “I’m staying alone and have practised diligently as well as vigorously but I’ve ever experienced retrogression for six times. If retrogression continues, I’ll kill myself with a knife.”
