MEANING potash

TO DEFINE:

B at every noun is a transliteration of Sanskrit as "Bodhi Bodhisattva DOA (Bodhisatta or Bodhisattva) is referred to. Originally meaning "enlightenment beings", also translated as "Great artist". In Chinese Buddhism Great Dictionaries (Beijing - 2002) was the definition of the Bodhisattva as follows: "Bodhisattva is the overall concept and rich in meaning to refer to the position attained dark magic in Buddhism, but also pursue wish the exit beings, so remains in the three worlds to practice this great prayer. Thought of Mahayana PG "
Bodhisattva is the title for the Buddhist monks and nuns have attained. However, according to the first class, the Bodhisattva Buddha remains under a level, so we must cultivate add a new life again become a Buddha.
Because even want enlightened beings, so Bodhisattvas still hold function salvation of all species in the three worlds, in the sense of the fundamental teachings of Mahayana Buddhism.
According to the Pali word (Pali), Bodhisatta consists of two parts: "Bodhi" is intellectual or sensory Property; "Sattva" is focused, (or) increase more capabilities to serve for a certain ideal.
According to the Catechism of Mahayana Buddhism, the bodhisattva's practice practitioner after paramitas majority (Paramita = altitude) showed Buddhahood, the vows, not by Nirvana (nirvana), when all beings remain unenlightened.
The concept Bodhisattva refers to any living being, even slopes to practice achieve "Wisdom"; in addition to setting up the word "WARNING prayer" take the path of the class, the senses.
Through the concept of Bodhisattva, understood in a different category, all beings have the ability to become a Buddha attained, because of the moral virtues Buddha is not a privilege for a particular class of people at all.
On the road practice, two basic elements of a Bodhisattva is the heart of Compassion (karuta ), parallel with Wisdom (Prajna).
Because Vow "Self-discipline and sense of forgiveness," the Bodhisattva ideal is to follow the path of salvation and being ready to receive everything suffering of beings, and its merit for being other. On the Bodhisattva Vow in Diamond Sutra, the Buddha says, "Here, this Bodhi Monastery, where people play center like this:" In this world, there are many beings - species from egg nutrition , species from pregnancy, species from humid places, biochemical species that form or formless, with no thought or idea. Should lead all to Nirvana, to Nirvana realm of "no residual y Nirvana". And though there are innumerable beings are led to Nirvana such, there is no real living being led to Nirvana. Why? If the bodhisattva ideal beings have arisen, he can not be called a Bodhisattva, he was caught up in the ego ideal, perfect beings, a great soul and a great man. " Buddha "Bo Slapping Development Center of countless beings "is to tear down the heart causing oscillation, insecurity of the audience. Initially Bodhisattva compassion arise to quell the craving, anger, attachment, but in the case of Bodhisattva problems in thinking selfhood; try a Bodhisattva Buddha taught to view immediately sense the province: the fall minister, selfhood are unrealistic. If you see a non-real property falls Minister, the attachment was falling, and psychological oscillations. Dropping psychological significance oscillation was subdued outlook mind. When an unsafe turn, the mind dwell: that the nfghia "mind dwells." Beings bring the form is being looked at by the law now that the Minister may fall. Bodhisattva is the attainment of selflessness, is capable to lead beings out of ego, go to Nirvana. If Bodhisattva saw beings are the means falling into fall minister, therefore, lacks the birth. Bodhisattva out of attachment in each concept is to go out psychological oscillations, the mind dwells. Thus, resident-centered concept of not grasping the meaning of the mind to dwell surrender.

LEVEL

On the Path of Buddhism, each individual according to ability from his compassion and wisdom, with different levels. Con this du4ong division nhuoi levels of mental practice into three groups: Thanh Van, Pratyekabuddha and Bodhisattvas.
The identification of this was the biblical Lotus Sutra are as follows:
