RE: The Ten Stages of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Path

in #mindfulness7 years ago

After reading the ten dharmas, it sounds like the person is a monk and does not marry. it makes you wonder how it is continued through the next generations if they cannot marry. I apologize if i do not understand. I do believe that meditation is good and healthy. Thanks @reddust.

A Buddha isn't produced through procreation but through one's own effort. A Buddha is very rare...lol

Once you are on the path of a Buddhisattva you give up your earthly family and join the spiritual family...Bodhisattva takes up the homeless life and becomes wayfarer.

Buddha was a prince, he was married, and had one child but that wasn't enough for him when he saw all the misery in his kingdom. He left his kingdom and started searching for a way to stop the rounds of rebirth, endless rounds of birth, illness and death, to be free of this earthly body.

I read about that honorable story a long time ago, it was considered a legend, but the story, embodied from generation to generation, confirmed that it was true. These are the stories that gratify the soul. An example worth following. Thank you, friend @reddust, for your dedication to the subject.
