A few verses from the 84000 project's new Gandavyuha Sutra on the nature of a bodhisattva. They title this free to all sutra, the Stem Array:
“Whatever worldly good fortune there is That occurs within the realms of beings, The resolute ones renounce it all, And they remain in the Buddha’s good fortune. “The world remains fruitless, Continuously in bondage. Those whose conduct is free from attachment Are continuously fixed on benefiting beings. “Their unequaled conduct Is inconceivable for all beings. They who think of the world’s happiness Bring an end to suffering. “They have compassion for the whole world And have the pure wisdom of enlightenment. They are a light for the world And bring liberation to the entire world.” |

The Good Eon in The Collection The Kangyur Discourses General Sūtra Section བསྐལ་པ་བཟང་པོ། · bskal pa bzang po Bhadrakalpika Summary While resting in a park outside the city of Vaiśālī, the Buddha is approached by the bodhisattva Prāmodyarāja, who requests meditation instruction. The Buddha proceeds to give a teaching on a meditative absorption called elucidating the way of all phenomena and subsequently delivers an elaborate discourse on the six perfections. Prāmodyarāja then learns that all the future buddhas of the Good Eon are now present in the Blessed One’s audience of bodhisattvas. Responding to Prāmodyarāja’s request to reveal the names under which these present bodhisattvas will be known as buddhas in the future, the Buddha specifies these names and goes on to describe the circumstances surrounding their birth, awakening, and teaching in the world. In the sūtra’s final section, we learn how each of these great bodhisattvas who are on the path to buddhahood first developed the mind of awakening.
