RE: The Ten Stages of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Path

in #mindfulness7 years ago

For this stage there is no inside or outside of a Bodhisattva, they do not dwell within duality of the mind and body. I can't imagine that...hahaha

I can glean some teachings from this, letting go of my resentments towards people I feel have hurt me and trying to see all things as pure. Plus I am going to research this stage some more. I had a hard time figuring out what the Buddha-fields mean. I think they are generated by the Bodhisattvas accumulated virtues and merit. The Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra goes into the Buddha-fields, I have read this sutra several times but that was years ago and I forget Vimalakirti spent a great deal of time showing the reader exactly what a Buddha-field is...
