A little commentary/ correction about who the Bodhisattvas are. They are not able to enter the Buddhahood, in the way lecturer is describing in the lecture, they still have no high enough level of realisation, equal to Buddha. It would be the same to say: "Children are able to enter university, but they are choosing to remain in kindergarten for the sake of other children". Children cannot enter university, because they need to learn, understand and realise many things before that. Buddha is much higher in realisation, wisdom, love, compassion than Bodhisattvas, and if Bodhisattvas choose to help beings to overcome obscurations, and therefore make themselves perceivable for our obscured minds, then Buddha certainly can in countless various ways more. As well as university students can help children much better than themselves can.

As I understand it, the arhat/ bodhisattva are already Buddhas and can achieve nirvana but choose not to so that they may help others discover the tathagata womb by being examples of living the 8 fold path as stated and practiced for his whole life by Siddartha Gautama The Sakyamuni Buddha.

I wouldn’t say who teaches who, because all of them, Buddha, bodhisattva and arhat are awakened person. But there are some differences between them. Bodhisattvas are those who are able to awaken/are awakened but choose to remain in the samsara to help the living beings that are still suffering. And only the one who pledged to be the Buddha and also appointed by a Buddha will be a bodhisattva. Arhats are awakened persons who’s goal was not saving the world but simply be awakened. So they are not Buddha but they got the nirvana and won’t fall into the samsara again like the Buddhas.

@@theitinerantdave4491 yes bodhisattvas and arhats are those who have achieved the nirvana, but they cannot be called Buddha. Bodhisattvas will become Buddha in the future, like Matreya, he is still bodhisattva now, but he will become Matreya Buddha someday, that’s why he’s called the future Buddha. Arhats will never become Buddha because they didn’t pledge to be a Buddha and wasn’t appointed by the Buddha (one who wants to be Buddha must be bodhisattvas first). But it doesn’t really matter cause they have achieved the nirvana.
