pratyekabuddha lineage vs arhant lineage

whats the different? what teaching differs to both? can they interchange the lineage whenever they want?

do pratyekabuddha attains full enlightment only when buddha dharma is absent? if so, why cant they attain nibbana now considering they wont teach to anyone so why waste rounds of rebirth?

Re: Can a lazy person awaken?

I was reading in the Bloodstream Sermon from The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma, translated by Red Pine, A buddha is an idle person. He doesn’t run around after fortune and fame. What good are such things in the end? People who don’t see their nature and think reading sutras, invoking buddhas, studyin...

Re: I don't want parinirvana,should I follow a different path?

I am not ashamed to say that is one of the reasons I left Theravada. Nibbana sounded like endless deep sleep. Similar descriptions are given by Samkhya and Vedanta. It was not a good motivator. Of course, there are also other people to think about, like my family and dogs, so I wouldn't want to bai...

Re: Maintain awareness in sleep

The certainty of death demands urgency of practice; but that does not mean speed. It means steady, consistent, and focused practice. It means relaxing enough to open yourself to realty, not applying effort with gritted teeth. A martial arts student went to his teacher and said earnestly, “I am devo...
