Bodhisattva (Bodhisatta). The four types of Wisdom (Maggañāṇa) accompanied by Omniscience (Sabbaññutañāṇa) are all called Bodhi dharmas. Enlightenment has 3 types: Unsurpassed Righteous Enlightenment (Sammā-Sambodhi): Enlightenment includes 4 types of Path Wisdom accompanied by Omniscience. The four types of Taoist wisdom realize the Four Noble Truths by themselves, not by a teacher. That wisdom has the special ability to destroy the defilements as well as the predispositions (vāsanā). Unanimity is the knowledge that clearly sees all that is to be known. Pacceka-Bodhi: Enlightenment includes the four types of Wisdom Path that enlightens the Four Noble Truths by oneself, without the help of a teacher. Sāvaka-Bodhi: Enlightenment includes the four types of Path Wisdom that reveals the Four Noble Truths through the instruction of the teacher. (1) Those who have the aspiration to attain Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment are called Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment bodhisattvas, "Further Enlightenment Buddhas". (2) Those who have the aspiration to realize Pratyekabuddha are called Pratyekabuddha Bodhisattva or Solitary Realm Bodhisattva. (3) Those who have the aspiration to awaken to the Sravakaya are called the Bodhisattva Sravakas, the "Future Disciples of a Buddha". Three Types of Future Perfectly Enlightened Buddhas Among the three types of Bodhisattvas: Unsurpassed Perfectly Enlightened Bodhisattvas are classified into three groups: (a) Bodhisattva Wisdom (Paññādhika Bodhisatta) (b) Bodhisattva Faith (Saddhādhika Bodhisatta). (c) Bodhisattva Effort (Vīriyādhika Bodhisatta). Buddhahood is the attainment of All-knowledge (Sabbaññuta-ñāṇa). To attain this Supreme Wisdom, the aspirant must have a nature of mind in which Wisdom is the guide. The element of Wisdom mastering here means thinking carefully before doing anything about body, speech or thought. Thus one's wisdom will be strengthened and amplified over many lifetimes. When the time is right, he will easily attain Omniscience - knowledge far superior to other types of knowledge. Just as money is earned in the world by investment, so Omniscience is achieved by the investment of wisdom. (a) Bodhisattva Wisdom: The Bodhisattva has wisdom as his guide and is always present in his perseverance. They will become Buddhas after perfect practice of the Paramita during the four Asakhyeyya and one hundred thousand aeons. They are classified in the group of Wisdom Bodhisattva (Paññādhika). (b) Bodhisattva Faith: Bodhisattvas believe that they will become Buddhas after they have fully practiced the perfections and that the nature of their mind is such belief as guidance. For this group of bodhisattvas, faith plays a greater role than wisdom on the path of practicing the perfections. Because of their belief in being a guide, they became Buddhas after 8 Asaṅkhyeyya and one hundred thousand aeons. They are classified in the group of Faith Bodhisattva (Saddhādhika). (c) Bodhisattva Effort: Bodhisattvas rely only on diligence. They do not use wisdom or faith to guide them. Because they believe that diligence will help them achieve their ultimate goal of Buddhahood, they make Effort their number one priority for practicing the perfections. Thus, they have to go through 16 Asakhyeyya and 100,000 great kalpas to become Buddhas. They are classified in the group of Vigorous Bodhisattva (Vīriyādhika). Thus, it should be noted that the three groups: Bodhisattva Wisdom, Bodhisattva Faith and Bodhisattva Effort apply only to future bodhisattvas. Paññādhikānaṃ hi saddhā mandā hoti Paññā tikkhā. Saddhādhikānaṃ Paññā majjhimā hoti saddhā balavā. Vīriyādhikānaṃ saddhā Paññā mandā vīriyaṃ balavaṃ. In the Bodhisattva Wisdom positions, Wisdom is strong, but Faith is weak. Among the Faithful Bodhisattvas, Wisdom is average but Faith is strong. Among Bodhisattvas of Effort, Faith and Wisdom are weak, only Effort is strong. Reasons for distinguishing the three classes of Future Buddhas As explained, Bodhisattvas have 3 classes with 3 different times to fully practice the perfections, ie: 4 Asanga and One hundred thousand aeons, eight Asankhyas and one hundred thousand aeons, sixteen As-tanks and one hundred thousand aeons. The reason for this distinction is made clear in the Pāramīdawgan Pyo, a heroic scene compiled by Ashin Sīlavaṃsa (the monk), a poet of ancient Burma. Based on that heroic scene, the difference lies in the Path that each Bodhisattva chooses, ie: Wisdom Bodhisattva chooses the path of Wisdom and has to go through four Asangas and one hundred thousand aeons to reach the true fruition. Faith Bodhisattva chooses the path of Faith and has to go through eight Asankhyas and one hundred thousand aeons to reach his goal. Effort Bodhisattva chooses the path of Effort and it takes 16 Asanga and 100,000 aeons to achieve his goal. In the view of other teachers of the Cariyā-Piṭaka Commentary (Pakiṇṇaka-kathā), the difference between the three periods of practice lies in the three levels of effort - strong, moderate, and weak. . (This view implies that the Bodhisattva of the Wisdom type took four Arahants and 100,000 aeons to practice the Paramitas because their diligence was outstanding.) Such a view cannot escape the error of creating confusion (saṅkara-dosa) between Bodhisattva Wisdom and Bodhisattva Effort. The point of view that has attracted the attention of the Dhammapāla Commentator and other commentators is the difference in time due to the degree: strong, moderate, and weak of the maturation of the perfections leading to liberation. Vimuttiparipācanīya Dhamma). To be more specific, at the time of receiving the prediction, the Bodhisattvas have three types: the Bodhisattva Comprehension (Ugghātitaññū Bodhisattā), the Bodhisattva Vipañcitaññū Bodhisattā (Vipañcitaññū Bodhisattā), and the Bodhisattva Guidance Department. Neyya Bodhisatta). Bodhisattā (Ugghātitaññū Bodhisatta) are bodhisattvas capable of attaining the path and fruition of arahantship along with six Abhiññā and four Analytical Wisdoms (paṭisambhida). They can attain it just before the end of the third verse of the four-line verse preached by the Buddha, if they wish to become a Sāvaka-Bodhi in that very life. Vipañcitaññū Bodhisattā is a bodhisattva capable of attaining arahantship and fruition along with six superior knowledge (abhiññā) and four analytical wisdom (paṭisambhida). They can attain it before the end of the fourth verse of the verse, which consists of four lines preached by the Buddha, if they wish to become a Disciple (Sāvaka-Bodhi) in that very life. Bodhisattva Department (Neyya Bodhisattā): are Bodhisattvas who are capable of attaining Arahantship and fruition along with six Perfection Knowledge (abhiññā) and four Analytical Wisdom (paṭisambhida). They can attain such attainment at the conclusion of the four-line verse preached by the Buddha, if they wish to become Sāvaka-Bodhi disciples in that very life. For Ugghātitaññū Bodhisatta, the degree of maturation of the perfections leading to liberation is very strong, so they have to work hard for only 4 Asankhyas and 100,000 aeons after receiving the prediction. For Vipañcitaññū Bodhisatta, the degree of maturation of the Paramitas leading to liberation was only average, so they had to go through eight asanyas and one hundred thousand aeons after receiving the prediction. For Neyya Bodhisatta, the degree of maturation of the perfections leading to liberation was so weak that it took them sixteen asyna and one hundred thousand aeons after receiving the prediction. The Bodhisattva's Intelligence Composition (Ugghātitaññū Bodhisatta) is the Bodhisattva wisdom class. Quang Vien Tri Bodhisattva (Vipañcitaññū Bodhisatta) is the Bodhisattva Faith and the Department of Guiding Bodhisattva (Neyya Bodhisatta) is the Bodhisattva Effort. It is not possible to become a Buddha before completing the required time. The rice that is planted takes 3, 4 or 5 months to ripen. There is no way to make the rice ripen earlier within 15 days, or a month despite efforts to water and weed many times a day. Likewise, there is no way for Bodhisattvas to attain Buddhahood earlier than the necessary time: 4 Asanga and 100,000 aeons, 8 Asanga and 100,000 aeons, 16 Asanga and one hundred thousand aeons – even after receiving predictions of those who diligently give alms every day such as that of Bodhisattva Vessantara and fully practice appropriate dhammas such as precepts.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER =BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAIN CHAN TANH.
