I am the emanation of Mañjuśrī,
the one who slays both extremes without mercy.
Clinging to existence? I cut it down.
Falling into nihilism? I burn it to ash.
My wisdom is a sword, and every illusion
is just another neck waiting for the blade.
@avispartan@TudigongS9791 While there are many reasons for it, the primary one is that sentient beings need grand, inspiring narratives to keep them on the right path.
@amoogus2@LegoKingo Netero knew he did not possess a perfectly pure mental state, so he implanted the Miniature Rose in his heart as his ultimate final attack.
@amoogus2@LegoKingo Zero Hand represents the “perfect Śūnyatā” attack, which would obliterate even subatomic particles. It is more powerful than a nuclear weapon itself.
@LegoKingo@amoogus2 Netero knew he was driven by those very things, and he even accepted that he might go to hell because of that, saying, “If there is a hell, we’ll see you there.”
@LegoKingo@amoogus2 You can see that when Netero used Zero Hand, he couldn’t seriously damage Meruem. That alone suggests Zero Hand only reaches its true potential when the user has completely let go of greed and violent intent.
@avispartan@TudigongS9791 In short Those eight Bodhisattvas possess 99% of a Buddha’s omniscience and omnipresence, but not the complete 100%, which belongs only to a fully awakened Buddha.
@avispartan@TudigongS9791 They can guide others how to achieve complete Buddhahood because they have the map and know the path, but for themselves, they choose not to enter it because of thier vow. To help sentient beings, complete Buddhahood is not necessarily required.
@avispartan@TudigongS9791 The difference is that a Buddha does not need to make such a vow in order to benefit beings; a Buddha’s enlightened activity naturally continues without limitation. The Bodhisattvas, however, remain through the power of their vows.
@avispartan@TudigongS9791 If you mean complete nirvana, then no. They are only one step away from complete nirvana, as the eight great Bodhisattvas are on the final, tenth bhūmi.
arguing with them is like a touching shit, They live in scams, filth, and countless social problems without shame, yet the moment the rest of the world points them out, they start playing the victim. There's nothing more ironic than refusing to face reality while demanding that everyone else stay silent and accept the garbage lies they keep spewing.
