Bodhisattva Story
From Pure Name Buddha Book, talking about a story of Siddhartha Buddha speaking with Bodhisattvas.
Some Bodhisattvas want to learn how to develop Pure Land.
And they ask Siddhartha: “We already have Bodhisattva ability, we already have developed four eternal hearts, and we have direct heart, pure heart want to help every life, sincere heart. How can we build Pure Land and become Buddha?”
Siddhartha says: “Ah you are already Bodhisattva, so what is a Bodhisattva? If you look at life and judge I am a Bodhisattva, those life are not – then you still already have ego. Because those other life are the future Bodhisattva.
Bodhisattva aware different ability but don’t have judgemental heart. You were blind before.
Buddha make sure their foundation is clear, so they will remain Bodhisattva and go higher.
Their level is already able to help every life in over 100 million universes without greed, ego, blindness, stupidity, personal. Nature being want to help every life. Life for them is divide consciousness and create so many types of joy. Level is called Unlimited Joy Grounded Bodhisattva. Buddha’s answer to them is to remain out of any judgement ego which could block them from developing higher awareness.
