RE: The Ten Stages of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Path

in #mindfulness7 years ago (edited)

The eight stage is reflecting the experience buhddah have gained from the previous stages, being purified by the ignorance of making wrong choice, greed, an elaborate mental pattern.

All this helps in the eight stages to have control over self acclaim or forming,and having inconceivable, incomparable, immeasurable Knowledge which makes thier actions without error.

All the ten stages is a gradual and continuous process, no stages must be left out if someone wants to really understand the concept.

Thanks @reddust for sharing

At this stage the Bodhisattva will not regress, he has become unmovable because he no longer dwells in duality and he/she no longer has to figure out what to do to help other beings. The answers come without contemplation or thought...Gosh I wish I had that ability, the power to help others without getting in their way or upsetting them would be awesome, esepcially when I have to tell my grandkids to pick up their messes ....hahaha

Each stage the Bodhisattva must go through many many times, each time the process becomes more subtle, more subtle, until there is nothing there at all...

Hmm; what a lot of sacrifice. It really worth every penny of that power
