Thank you for the video. I have been praying to Guan Yin for 33 years. I find she gives me great comfort and peace of mind.

What interests me is how close Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are exactly. Like is a Buddha "very simply said" an ascended form of a Bodhisattva or is it much more complicated than that?

[@PureLandBuddhism]

Bodhisattvas have 51 stages of enlightenment whereas Buddha is the 52nd. Buddha is a perfect complete enlightened beings. For your question depending on the level of the Bodhisattvas, a bodhisattva is still very far away from the Buddha, unless he’s in the 51st stage, then it’s close to the Buddha. Amituofo 🙏

[@HHesky]

is Nirmanakaya kind of like bodhisattva reincarnate to the human realm to help save sentient being?

[@powerincarnate6783]

Thanks for the info, I have a question, can we pray to Guanyin or anothee Bodhisattva to help us fulfill our wishes, stuff like love, money and such? And if so how it's done?

[@PureLandBuddhism]

Yes you can but it’s best if it’s for the benefit of all sentient beings and for the Dharma, if only selfish desire then Bodhisattvas may not fulfil. Amituofo 🙏

[@budhabhushanmate2397]

How can someone stay for endless time in samsara untill the all sentient beings are liberated or free from suffering???? We know that sentient beings are limitless and how can someone save all these ? Like this the sentient being who vowed to save all sentient beings then only they will attain buddhahood will never become buddha because the sentient beings are limitless

[@maheshrathodn5191]

If no-one can come back again as Buddha if there's allready a living Buddha available then who was Kasyapa Buddha who were living as Buddha itself with lord tathagath SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA explain me this briefly please ?

[@PureLandBuddhism]

Kasyapa Buddha was the Buddha before Shakyamuni Buddha, not at the same time with Shakyamuni Buddha. Kasyapa Buddha was the previous Buddha/past Buddha (very long long time), after his teaching period is over then Shakyamuni Buddha came, so he was succeeded by Shakyamuni Buddha. And the future Buddha is Maitreya Buddha (when the teaching period of Shakyamuni Buddha is over and after a very long long time). Amituofo 🙏
